Medications during pregnancy are best to be avoided to prevent any complications with the developing baby. However, women during pregnancy are not exempt from having pain and sometimes needing medication. You should always consult your doctor before taking any medications.

**Note: Most doctors do recommend waiting until after the first trimester (3^rd month) or at least the first 8 weeks to take any medications.**
