I'm trying to think... I haven't worked in two years, so some of that stuff is starting to get blurry, but I'm thinking that the answer is no. I'm pretty sure Tylenol is the only thing you are allowed to take, but I could be wrong.

Call the doctor and ask! That's what I do when I'm not too sure about something.

Advil, yes. Aleve, NO. Advil is just stronger ibuprofen, as far as I know. Whereas Aleve is Nopraxen. I (L) Aleve b/c it works SO well for anything that is bothering me, but I can't take it, obviously :sadeyes

I found this:


Minor Headache or Body Ache

# Tylenol or any acetaminophen preparations, 2 tablets or 650 mg every 4 hours
# Do not take aspirin during your pregnancy unless instructed to do so by your physician. Aspirin may interfere with blood clotting and cause problems during labor and delivery
# Do not take ibuprofen (such as Advil or Motrin) unless instructed by your physician
# If headache persists for more than 24 hours, call the Clinic


which says no. I thought you could take it as long as you weren't in your last trimester since one of my doctors told me that it's more of a concern for thinning the blood. So, I don't know. I guess call your doc b/c I don't wanna give you the wrong info :lol

Ok...so I looked it up.... Tylenol is acetaminophen and Advil is ibuprofen. Advil is a no-no.
