Correlation is not causation
Correlation is not causation
Correlation is not causation

And if you still believe correlation is causation, please google spurious correlations. [/quote]

Stop grasping at straws.  Its NOT safe. There isnt a single study in humans that says its safe.

Well no one has found much in the way of harm when taken at recommended doses, so that’s about as close as you are going to get to “safe.” Correlation is NOT causation. For all we know, whatever makes kids autistic could also cause severe pain in pregnancy, causing someone to reach for Tylenol. And sibling studies have not found the same links.

Should you take it multiple times per day for every discomfort? Probably not. Should you consider taking it if you have a prolonged 103 fever while pregnant? Yes, yes you should, unless you really want to miscarry or have a child who has the brain of an infant forever.

Nothing is 100% safe, and that includes the “natural” crap in your medicine cabinet. But the risks of Tylenol by any measure are exceptionally low.  Risk benefit analysis, people. [/quote]

Headache or autism seems like an easy risk benefit analysis 🧐 [/quote]

Good thing it’s not that simple.

Also, [b]fever is likely be way more harmful to the fetus than acetaminophen. [/b]And we know the risks of high fever. But you do you, I guess. [/quote]

Do you have a study on that? [/quote]

NP. Don't have time to do fancy links, but yes-it's been known for a long time that high fevers can cause harm to the fetus. For a simple explanation, check out the March of Dimes website.

PP, you must be very young, to not know how dangerous high fevers can be in pregnancy. Because tylenol has been in wide use for so long, you don't see the damage as much anymore.[/quote]

I just saw a video of a woman who said she was so afraid to take anything in pregnancy that she left a 105 fever from flu untreated and lost her baby at 20 weeks. Went on to take meds in subsequent pregnancies and has three healthy neurotypical children.

I listen to my MEDICAL DOCTORS advice. [/quote]

How do you know the virus didn't terminate the pregnancy?.[/quote]
