Hello all. i have just found out that i am pregnant. can anyone tell me the effects of paracetamol in the early stages of pregnancy. i took an overdose some months ago and spent several days in hospital. i am now very worried that it may have devestating long term effects on my baby. i am now very happy to be pregnant and wish just the best for my baby. please help.

Hello - I'd speak to your GP for the best guidence on this, but normal paracetomol use in pregnancy is fine (1 or 2 tablets every 4 hours max 8 in 24 hours).

I hope you feel better now and wish you the best with your pregnancy xx
