Caption reposted from
The Trump administration has made highly controversial claims about the causes of autism and ADHD, asserting that paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen) use during pregnancy increases the risk of children being diagnosed as neurodivergent.

RANZCOG joins leading clinicians and scientists worldwide in rejecting these claims. Scientific evidence shows no link between paracetamol use in pregnancy and autism or ADHD during childhood, with several large and reliable studies directly contradicting the administration’s statement.

The causes of neurodivergence are incompletely understood and remain complex, involving both genetic and environmental factors. Earlier studies raising concerns about paracetamol could not determine whether the medicine itself was responsible, or whether other factors explained the association.

A much larger and stronger study, published in 2024 by Ahlqvist and colleagues, looked at 2.5 million children in Sweden. When they accounted for important factors like family history of autism/ADHD and sibling comparisons, they found no link between paracetamol use during pregnancy and children developing autism or ADHD.

The use of medications during pregnancy should always balance the potential benefits against any potential harms - both of the medication and of the condition being treated - to the mother and the fetus. The Ahlqvist study provides conclusive evidence that paracetamol use during pregnancy does not increase the chance of neurodivergence in the offspring and therefore should be considered safe to use in pregnancy where there is a clear reason to do so.

People who are uncertain about medication use in pregnancy should discuss this with their doctor or midwife.

Ivy has been part of this family’s fertility journey since their first appointment. She was front at centre at their embryo transfer, and came along today to hear their baby’s heartbeat for the first time. She’s going to be an amazing first teddy for Bub!

A different kind of work for me this weekend! I’ve joined the Board of Examiners! Trainee obstetrician and gynaecologists need to pass written and oral examinations as part of their specialist training. Being an examiner allows me to contribute to the profession, and along with my public hospital roles, contribute to excellence in future generations of women’s health specialists. Good luck to our candidates tomorrow!

It’s World Breastfeeding Week - a timely reminder of both the power and the challenges of breastfeeding.

As an obstetrician, I’ve seen firsthand how rewarding yet overwhelming the early days of feeding can be. Every feeding journey is different, and it’s okay to ask for support, to make changes, or to feel unsure along the way.

Our lactation consultant, Jade , is here to guide you with expert, compassionate support whether you’re preparing to breastfeed, experiencing hurdles, or just need reassurance that you’re doing a great job.

📞 If you’d like to speak with our lactation consultant Jade, get in touch with our rooms to book an appointment.

Hi, I’m Andrew

I've been working in women's health for over 20 years, and became a specialist in 2005. I've undertaken broad training in general obstetrics and gynaecology, with additional training in advanced minimally invasive surgery (sometimes called "Keyhole Surgery") and infertility, attaining the additional qualification of Masters of Reproductive Medicine (UNSW).

One of the most satisfying aspects of my practice is being able to care for you throughout your reproductive journey from conception to baby.

In my practice, I like to have a relaxed consulting and communication style. You won't see me wearing a tie, and I prefer to be called Andrew, not Dr Zuschmann. I want you to feel comfortable, and I encourage you to ask me any questions you may have about your condition.
