Tonya, check with your OB/GYN before doing anything, especially the aspirin. Even if you don't swallow, your mouth will still absorb it. I don't think you can take aspirin while you're pregnant. (at least that's what I've been told.) I was told I could take ibuprofin (sp?) but not in the third trimester and Tylenol through the whole pregnancy. Good luck and, remember, the pain is only temporary.
