All I know it paracetomol is what you can take. My mw says to take whenever u get headaches or feel ill. apparently headaches are v common in 2nd tri when the ms ends :P
You can take up to 500mg paracetomol per day x

Yep, I was told paracetemol only, I take panadol. None of those you have in are any good as you cant take codeine or ibuprofen.

My doc today said paracetemol only. Everything else (e.g. aspirin, ibuprofen) can harm the baby.

Paracetamols only. I suffer the same with my head and bought a 4head stick which i think actually works. Think it's similar to tiger balm.
Hope u find something to help x

Paracetamol is fine and you can take up to 8 of them in 24 hours. Im prescribed these as I have to take them every day. I really hope your migraine settles down soon, take care XX
