Tylenol (acetaminophen) is generally safe to take during labor if needed (it’s also safe to take during pregnancy, too). It can help manage minor aches, pains, and fever. Tylenol can be especially helpful if you're experiencing mild back pain in the early stages of labor. However, it’s crucial to consult your healthcare provider before taking any medication during labor to ensure the safety of both you and your baby. They can provide personalized advice based on your medical history and current condition. If your healthcare provider gives you the green light, Tylenol can be a useful tool for managing discomfort and maintaining your overall well-being during labor.
