Hi all, I'm 5 weeks pg, found out yesterday and have such a bad head today. Quite overwhelmed at the moment and worrying! I took paracetamol, that's ok isn't it??

😥😥😥😥

Paracetamol is perfectly fine, do not take ibuprofen anything else check with a pharmacist or doctor but paracetamol is safe

No trying to unnecessarily scare anyone, just provide up to date info - but there was a recent study that suggested paracetamol could potentially affect the fertility of unborn babies...

I've been taking paracetamol like it's going out of fashion for severe gastritis pain and will continue to do so, being in pain puts you under a lot of stress so I think it's important not to let yourself suffer x
