Safe Painkillers During Pregnancy

In this video, Dr. Manjeet Arora, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist at Cloudnine Hospital, Kailash Colony, New Delhi, addresses a common concern for expecting mothers: which painkillers are safe to take during pregnancy. From headaches to backaches, pain is a frequent part of the pregnancy journey, but not all medications are safe for your baby. Dr. Arora explains which drugs, like paracetamol, are considered safe, how to use them responsibly, and why certain painkillers, like ibuprofen and diclofenac, should be avoided in the third trimester. She also discusses when more potent medications may be used under medical supervision.
