Hello Madam, sorry to read about your troubles!

To better understand your needs, would it be possible to know what type of Tylenol tablet (dosage) and how much you take per day?

Thank you for your help!

Hi, I take 2 Tylenols every 6 hours or so. :)

Thank you for the information!

If the Tylenol you are using is 500mg, you are indeed taking the right dose. If you have 325mg tablets, you can increase to 3 tablets every 6 hours

Unfortunately, the options are a bit limited in pregnancy for pain. If acetaminophen (Tylenol) is not enough, you will need to see a doctor...

Sincerely

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
