fever and pregnancy

I am 17 weeks pregnant and am wondering if I can take the occasional aspirin?

In general, if you are pregnant, avoid all medications. Aspirin is not recommended during pregnancy, it can increase the risk of bleeding in the fetus and may also affect lung maturation. If you have pain, a better option is to take acetaminophen (Tylenol).
