Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Yes dolo which contains paracetamol is safe analgesic in pregnancy. You can take 1 tablet of dolo to reduce the pain.
Do not take more than 3 tablets per day.
If the pain does not come down then you can try opioid medication but it should be only taken of and only if the pain is very severe to bear.
Otherwise paracetamol will suffice.
Take care.
