I am 29 weeks pregnant and I was talking down the stairs holding my 2 year old and my 4 year old tripped so I went to catch her and I ended up stumbling down the last stair and slamming my back into a cement wall. I have been taking tylnenol but it isn t helping is there something more effective to help ease the pain

Hi,
I understand your concern.
After a fall in pregnancy,It is important to consult your gynecologist for excluding any major injury. one can take Acetoaminophen in therapeutic dose safely through out pregnancy.
Fentanyl patch has not demonstrated any adverse effect on fetus. .. so it can be used with doctor's advise.
Non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs( Ibuprofen group ) should be avoided after 32 weeks & used with caution before that too.
thanks.
