I'm pretty sure the answer is no. but I'm going to ask anyway. there has been a recall of Tylenol. I recently bout the generic wallmart. brand. that wouldn't be included would it? I didn't know if the Tylenol company made the product and just sold.some to wallmart to put their name on it... Tylenol has been the only medicine for my headaches my on has approved me for right now. and its just not working :( no pain relief in the least

Hey leeann - I went through the same thing with both my pregnancies. Even with a shunt, when I was pregnant I had a headache every day and all day long. I could only take Tylenol, too - especially in the 1st and 2nd trimester. Did it help much - nope. But I did what I had to do. Finally, in the 3rd trimester with each pregnancy my ob/gyn had mercy on me and gave me a low dose of Darvocet. It helped a little bit and at least I was able to be somewhat functional until I had the kids. I took it as little as possible, to minimize the potential that the babies would have to go through narcotic withdrawal after birth. Both kids were fine and did not have any withdrawal symptoms.

Unfortunately, at least for me, the headaches got worse as each pregnancy went on. There's not a lot you can do - but if they get too bad, don't be afraid to talk to your ob about pain alternatives. When you're in really bad pain, your body is in a state of distress, and that's not good for your baby either...

I did end up going to the er. I didnt know what else to do. they gave me a shot of dilaudid. thet said it was perfectly safe during pregnancy. I slept for over 19 hours!!!!! wow. I feel the pressure. but not to much pain. they gave me a script for a low dose of loratab. just wanted to keep you guys updated .

I don't know if this might be your case but when I got headaches, medicines worked for a while but the it stopped working so I went over tons of medicines in 4 years, but that is just me
