Paracetamol is about the only thing you can take in pregnancy without getting the okay from your doctor first.
Plain Regular Tylenol only take 2 tablets and rest.
No meds for migranes are safe for baby. sorry.
During early pregnancy, you can take acetaminphen (tylenol) and also ibuprfen (motrin or advil). Most doctors will tell you to only take Tylenol, as ibuprofen is not safe during the third trimester. But during the first trimester they are equally safe to take.
DO NOT TAKE ADVIL!
The only pain reliever deemed ’safe’ during pregnancy is Tylenol. You need to talk to your doctor if it keeps up.

Although it is best to check with your doctor regarding this issue, because your doctor has your file and your personal health history, so he or she would be the one to ask about this question, but I did some research on your question and found an answer, still, I would recommend that you check with your doctor on this issue.?
An Overview of Imitrex and Pregnancy
For people who are pregnant, Imitrex® (sumatriptan succinate) may not be safe. This is based on animal studies that looked at the effects of Imitrex during pregnancy.
Imitrex and Pregnancy Category C
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) uses a pregnancy category system to classify the possible risks to a fetus when a specific medicine is taken during pregnancy. Pregnancy Category C is given to medicines that have not been studied in pregnant humans, but do appear to cause harm to the fetus in animal studies. Also, medicines that have not been studied in any pregnant women or animals are automatically given a pregnancy Category C rating.
Imitrex was given a pregnancy Category C rating based on studies in pregnant animals. For example, when Imitrex was given to pregnant rabbits during early pregnancy, there was an increase in deaths of the developing embryo. This risk was not seen when Imitrex was tested on rats. There were, however, an increased number of blood vessel problems in the studies on rats.
It is important to note, however, that animals do not always respond to medicines in the same way that humans do. Therefore, a pregnancy Category C medicine may be given to a pregnant woman if her healthcare provider believes that its benefits outweigh any possible risks to the unborn child.
Recommendations for Imitrex and Pregnancy
Prior to taking Imitrex, let your healthcare provider know if you are pregnant or thinking about becoming pregnant. Your healthcare provider will consider both the benefits and the risks of taking Imitrex during pregnancy before making a recommendation for your particular situation.
Paracetomol ONLY
Just lay down in a dark room, close your eye’s, take a cold flannel leave it on your forehaed, the paracetomol will kick in after a while. RELAX ..
I started with tylenol when I was having migraines early on but If they continue to get worse then you can talk to your Dr. about prescribing midrin. I am currently on it for migraines works very well and it IS safe for baby!
