Taking Tylenol.

I was really set against taking Tylenol or any pregnancy recommended medication. I read an article tylenol contributes to babies who developed ADD /ADHD later on as children. Not sure how accurate this is. However, only started yesterday taking it for a severe migraine and currently in second trimester. Doesn't really help with pain at all. Also worried that it will cause side effects in baby later.

Or everything you do after having baby causes SIDS and vaccinations cause autism. You will find a lot of info on google BUT only trust articles in peer reviewed journals. The rest is myth or someone trying to force their sick opinions on you. Trust your dr. I have also been suffering from headaches this pregnancy. I find drinking a tall glass of water followed by a cup of coffee (only time i drink coffee) helps.

You know what bothers me, they do all the studies and it seem like everything contribute to children having ADD/ADHD. I have taken tylenol my whole pregnancy and nothing has happened. As long as you don't over dose you are fine.
