[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know why all of you are getting worked up over this. You’re free to ingest as much Tylenol as you wish while pregnant. 
It’s still legal.[/quote]

At what point do these recommendations affect what insurance companies will cover or doctors' liability for compliant or non-compliant advice?[/quote]

lol DCUM freaking out that Tylenol won’t be covered by insurance. Chefs kiss. [/quote]

It's not about insurance coverage. It's about misleading information -- deliberately wrong information.

Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. The other options OTC are not, especially past the 30 week time. And untreated fever in pregnancy really IS connected to autism.[/quote]

Tylenol is not “safe”. That’s the problem. Doctors should be telling people it’s the “safe-est” option available for pregnant women but to use sparingly and only when really needed, such as to reduce high fever. We live in a paternalistic society where doctors leave out this nuance b/c they want to steer patients a certain way. It’s true on a number of things. The medical community needs to be more transparent with patients and empower us to make our own decisions.[/quote]
