If you're confused about whether it's safe to take paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen or Tylenol) in pregnancy, you're not alone.

Recent headlines and conflicting information have left many expectant mums wondering what to do when they're dealing with pain, headaches, or fever.

And midwives and birth workers are also struggling to know what to say.

Thats why I've written a blog post on paracetamol in pregnancy and birth. I explain the issues and link to evidence-based resources so that you can make the decisions that are right for you.

Welcome precious Elowen, what an empowered mother you have and what a perfect Christmas present you are.

'Hi Keeley,

I didn't get very far into my maternity leave before our little one decided to make an appearance!

My waters broke in the early hours of Wednesday, following my final yoga class with you! We had a nice calm morning at home with lots of movement and calm breathing. Made our way to the Barratt Birth Centre at around 5pm and baby Elowen arrived with us at 2.35am on Christmas day!

It's been a complete whirlwind, full of magic. We couldn't be happier. Thank you for all your guidance in classes and for providing me with the tools to go into labour with a positive mindset, it's more powerful than any drug on the market!

Verity'
