Taking Acetaminophen (Tylenol) during pregnancy has been a hot topic in the media in recent months. According to the American College of Obstetrics, science HAS NOT shown that taking acetaminophen during pregnancy is linked to higher rates of autism or ADHD in children. In fact, “many research studies show there is no evidence that acetaminophen causes either condition.” Learn more about recommendations for acetaminophen during pregnancy at ACOG’s website here: https://www.acog.org/womens-health/faqs/acetaminophen-and-pregnancy

As always, talk to your doctor before taking medications during pregnancy, as each patient & pregnancy is unique, and make sure you’re attending each of your appointments to check in with your doctor about recommendations and the health of your pregnancy.
