Ok so I missed out on the post about taking pain killers - can someone lead me to that list please? Or just tell my if Tylenol is included. (Just the extra strength - over the counter stuff), I take it pretty regularly at night to sleep. I also drink the Celestial Seasonings Sleepy Time tea at night - and the peppermint in the morning. Pretty much cut out caffeine all together - and this is my best substitute.

Hope I dont sound silly - really just wondering about the Tylenol.

Thanks!

Hi Steph,

I don't know if this is the post you're talking about, but I posted this yesterday - about a study linking painkillers to increased m/c risk. It mentions ibuprofen and aspirin, but I've always heard that Tylenol is safe. Hope this helps!!

Here's a copy of my post:

"I saw this on msn.com and thought I'd share. I know we all know painkillers like ibuprofen are not safe during PG, but maybe we shouldn't be taking them while TTC, either!

Here's the story: http://www.msnbc.com/news/952991.asp?0sl=-12

GL to everyone!"

Tylenol is perfectly safe....just aspirin and ibuprofen products are to be avoided while TTC and during pregnancy. I'm not sure about the Sleepy Time Tea (since it contains chamomille and I'm not sure if that's considered "herbal" which should be avoided) but the peppermint tea is just fine...most doctors actually recommend that for morning sickness.
