Pregnant W/ Possible Addiction.

[Miss_Courtney]

I'm 39 weeks pregnant, & I have pica. That's hard to fight everyday. Now, on top of that, I think I'm becoming addicted to Tylenol (if that's even possible). The painful cramps that come along w/ pregnancy, are so bad. When I got the okay to take Tylenol for them, I can't stop. I'm not trying to make it a habit, but every time I start to feel cramping, I want to pop the pills. I've decreased it down to consuming 1 instead of 2 as recommended, but as I'm typing this, I feel nothing which I love. The last thing I want to do is hurt my baby.

Yes, this is my 1st baby. I'll let you know how the appointment goes.

Hi and welcome~

How many tylenol are you taking a day?  Please discuss this with your OB.  Are you seeing someone for your pica?
