14 I HAVE A HEADACHE; CAN I TAKE PAINKILLERS?

Generally you should avoid all painkillers during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester. Paracetamol can be taken on a short-term basis but other painkillers, for instance aspirin, are not suitable for pregnant women. Try eating regular snacks, taking a warm bath, going for a massage, taking rescue remedy and watching your posture for natural fixes.
