Acetaminophen use in pregnancy linked to kids' behavioral problems - senona - 08-16-2016 New research appears to show that taking acetaminophen during pregnancy is linked to behavior problems in the child who is born. Quote:Acetaminophen, long the mainstay of a pregnant woman’s pain-relief arsenal, has been linked to behavioral problems in children born to mothers who used it during pregnancy. Source Quote:Several epidemiological studies have linked acetaminophen use during pregnancy to ADHD-like behaviors in the child. Research performed on mice has suggested that the medication alters brain development by disrupting hormonal function in the developing fetus. And several other mechanisms of injury have been suggested. Women who are pregnant really have to be cautious any more of what they take medicine wise. It's bad enough that the people who take something may worry about possible side effects, but only to themselves. Yet with an unborn baby, that might develop ADHD-like behavior as they get older, it is definitely an important issue to consider on whether to skip taking it for the duration of the pregnancy. Hope this message gets out there to those soon-to-be Mothers, in case they do not know about this latest study on Acetaminophen. Not sure if doctors would agree with this study, therefore they may say to just ignore it, nothing to worry about. So just use your best judgement when it comes to taking this stuff. Maybe find a more natural and safer alternative until the baby is born. |
