Exactly. No meds during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary. I would not prescribe a pregnant women meds for a UTI unless I first consulted her OBGYN. 99%of the time we limited the prescription to Amoxicillin. For fever we used Tylenol. And I still would recommend it's use for a fever greater than 101 because there aren't any antipyretics other than NSAIDS and acetaminophen. At some point the risks associated with fever outweigh the risks associated with Tylenol. NSAIDS are a hard no because of , potential heart issues from premature closure of the ductus arteriosus, and kidney problems.
These women are not using Tylenol for medical reasons apparently. The one good thing is they appear to be in there last trimesters and the brain is fully developed and the baby is pretty much just gaing weight. I suspect high levels of Tylenol in the 1st trimester when the brain is forming will prove more problematic. I'd like to see some studies on the rate of autism in babies with ZERO exposure to Tylenol in utero. Obviously some mother never take Tylenol while pregnant but still have children that develop Autism but I would like to see if mothers that take Tylenol have a higher rate.
