Hello ma'am, sorry to read about your troubles!
Tylenol is the only over the counter medication that is safe during pregnancy
If it has been successful in relieving at least 25% of your pain (for example if the pain was 7 and is 5 with Tylenol), it is considered effective
Having said that, if the pain is not at all relieved by taking Tylenol regularly for 1 to 2 days, you should consult a doctor, as a precaution.
I hope I've been helpful, and I'm available if you have any further questions
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
