Paracetamol and pregnancy
Paracetamol is the first choice of painkiller if you're pregnant. It's commonly taken during pregnancy and does not harm your baby.

(Paracetamol=acetaminophen)

And the NIH, 2023:

Acetaminophen is considered by most healthcare providers to be the pain reliever of choice during pregnancy. It has been suggested to use this medication only as needed and to take the lowest effective dose, unless your healthcare provider has given other instructions.

Though a few recent studies have wondered if that should be changed:
