President Trump has advised pregnant women not to take acetaminophen, usually branded as Tylenol in the US or paracetamol elsewhere, as he claims it heightens the risk of autism in children.
Despite his assertion being contested by scientists internationally and contradicted by studies, Trump said: “Taking Tylenol is not good … All pregnant women should talk to their doctors about limiting the use of this medication while pregnant.”
We would like to hear from pregnant women and medical professionals and their reaction to his comments. What do you think about what he has said? If you are pregnant, do you plan on doing anything differently?
