That is a question you should discuss with your obstetrician.
With the history of headaches, I would ask you doctor.
Congrats! Best wishes to you!

Tylenol taken as directed is usually well tolerated. I'd talk to a pharmacist, they consult for free.

If you have to take anything, Tylenol is probably the safest drug during pregnancy to help reduce fever. As for the headaches, have you tried warm compresses? Of course you shld always consult w/ your OBGYN first before using any medication (even over the counter drugs, vitamins, ointments, etc. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Make sure you are getting suffiecient sleep and drink plenty of water. Dehydration can cause headaches during pregnancy, when you need to be drinking enough water for two.

I just read that two glasses of Gatorade will take away a headache. Give it a try, instead of the tylenol.
Do you by chance have sinus or allergy problems that cause the headaches?
Talk to your obsetrician or midwife for advice.
