I have a boy that I didn't take Tylenol with and he is fine. I have a girl that I did take Tylenol with and she is fine. Needless to say I'm taking it this go round too only for severe headaches. Just pray don't drive yourself crazy.

Medications because they never know exactly how it can affect the fetus. Too risky for me...

Recently they found Tylenol isn't completely safe and should be avoided although it is still the recommended pain killer for pregnancy.  Its best to avoid ALL

Yes its the only thing you can take but I also read that they are researching it and are lead to believe that with regular usage of Tylenol during pregnancy can lead to adhd and autism but it hasn't been proven yet I took it a lot with my son because I had horrible migraines and he does have adhd so Just in case this time I only take it if I'm in so much pain it's the only solution. Good luck hun

Tylenol is about all you can take. And i have researched many things and it is not linked by credible research to be linked to autism. Just saying.

They didn't discourage the use of it but they had to disclose that info.

I was originally told Tylenol was safe during pregnancy,  however after going to the emergency room around 20 or so weeks for bad headaches and dizziness they had to disclose to me that there was some research to suggest that it was linked to autism. Needless to say,  I didn't take anything .
