My wife recently tested positive for pregnancy and is experiencing daily back and stomach pain, even after doing light physical work. What safe medications can she take to relieve this pain during early pregnancy?
Mild backaches and stomach cramping are common in early pregnancy as the body stretches and adapts. For safe pain relief, acetaminophen (paracetamol) is the preferred over-the-counter option. She must strictly avoid NSAIDs like ibuprofen or aspirin. Before starting any medication, it is very important to consult her OB/GYN to ensure the pregnancy is progressing safely. To help manage the pain naturally, encourage her to get plenty of rest, stay hydrated, use a warm compress, and avoid any heavy lifting or prolonged standing.
