Can Paracetamol Overdose Cause Harm To The Baby During Pregnancy?
Hi I found out yesterday that I'm around 4 weeks pregnant. My concern is that when I was only a few days pregnant I took a large overdose of paracetamol (not knowing I was pregnant) and was put on a drip in hospial and was given an x-ray. Could my baby be harmed?

Paracetamol is safe in pregnancy but any drug in overdose can harm!!! N X ray is usually a big contraindication in pregnancy but now tat u r pregnancy I think u should just wait n do all d advised n scans in good center. Termination may b a great ideas as v have seen many who have had normal babies after such history
