📣Paracetamol and pregnancy📣

THE FACTS
💜There is no evidence that taking paracetamol during pregnancy causes autism in children.
💙A major study conducted in Sweden in 2024, involving 2.4 million children found no evidence that paracetamol causes autism in pregnancy.
💚Untreated pain and fever can pose real risks to the unborn baby, so it is crucial to manage these symptoms with the recommended treatment. Paracetamol continues to be the recommended pain relief option for pregnant women when used as directed.
🧡Patients should not swap to alternatives such as ibuprofen, as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are generally not recommended during pregnancy

💙2 weeks into Stoptober💙
Protecting your baby from to***co smoke is one of the best things you can do to give your child a healthy start in life. It can be difficult to stop smoking, but it's never too late to quit.
Every cigarette you smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, many of which are dangerous, so smoking when you are pregnant harms your unborn baby. Ci******es can restrict the essential oxygen supply to your baby. As a result, their heart must beat harder every time you smoke.

For more information and to be referred to our Maternity inhouse smoking support service, please speak with your midwife
