The average woman runs 1-2 fevers during their pregnancy. Most of them are low grade (not threatening to the life or health of the child or mother) So in essence the average woman should only be taking Tylenol once or twice during their pregnancy, and not for prolonged periods.

The problem arises when women take it for every little back ache, head ache, low grade fever, or other small pains that they should instead handle in other manners.

Well, let your pregnant wife eat a bunch of Tylenol then.


Question- how much Tylenol do you think causes autism? Like how many doses would a pregnant woman have to take to ensure her child would have autism?

This statement assumes a significant number of pregnant women takes Tylenol for every little back ache, head ache, etc. Where did this assumption come from?

I certainly did not think this topic would reach this many pages
The biggest reason this one and the last one went this far is because a couple of arrogant alleged doctors couldn't answer simple questions and at least one person continued to let them know how pathetic and immature they are for thinking they're so high and mighty yet performing like mental midgets

So in short doctors should stop over prescribing any pain meds when the mother has slight fever or pain.

Makes sense.

yes, and they should stop underprescribing them as well. Pain and fever are bad for people and pregnancy outcomes. medicine is hard because there are risks on all sides.

that's a question for your doctor.... you know... exactly what the FDA is trying to get people to do.

Y’all don’t know how miserable pregnancy is (or can be for those with unicorn wives who love being pregnant). Women are at the very least “uncomfortable” from the moment we get a positive test. To suggest a pregnant mom would take multiple doses of Tylenol every day for 9 months to battle discomfort is bonkers.

Do you think pregnant women never asked their doctors questions before this whole spectacle?

Women have been waiting for the FDA to give them permission to ask their OBGYNs questions?

Why are people who claim to be doctors so scared to answer a simple question? It's amazing. Dozens of posts running away

But they're soooo smart. They should be able to dispatch with ease any questions about the integrity of healthcare experts. Lol

It certainly isn’t perfect. But there are ample ethical scientists and researchers out there doing very good . Whether or not the heroin addict and the man he answers to are in that bunch is up for debate.

Except there are pregnant blue haired culture warriors guzzling "spite Tylenol" on their socials right now. People are stupid. That's why there are bathtub warnings on hair dryers.

Know that feeling. Had to put a 22+ year old horse down Monday morning myself. He'd been sick for a while and the medicine wasn't helping. Was down behind the barn and couldn't get up. Did you do the "putting down" yourself or get someone else to do your dirty work? I shot my horse in the head with a 30/30 myself to put him out of his misery. The gun didn't make me do it.

This is largely my experience with pregnant patients. Women often have to be told that their untreated disease states cause them more risk and more risk to the pregnancy/fetus than the medication before they'll take medication.

I don't know.
I guess I'm smart enough to understand that research has shown Tylenol does in fact reduces the amount of glutathione. I would take that into consideration to protect the health of the baby as much as possible.

My son is autistic. This research and this topic hit pretty close to home for me.

quote:

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) tend to have lower levels of glutathione, the body's primary antioxidant. A deficiency in glutathione can increase oxidative stress, which may contribute to the neurobiological and behavioral symptoms of ASD. Research exploring glutathione as a therapeutic intervention shows mixed results, depending on the delivery method and the specific outcomes being measured.


Here's the difference between you and me.. I won't dismiss this research based solely on politics as you have.

Here's more..

quote:

Role of glutathione in autism
Antioxidant defense: As the body's master antioxidant, glutathione (GSH) helps neutralize harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS). An imbalance between ROS and antioxidants leads to oxidative stress, which is more prevalent in people with ASD.
Detoxification: Glutathione plays a crucial role in removing toxins and heavy metals from the body, a process that may be impaired in some individuals with ASD.
Immune function: By regulating inflammatory responses, glutathione influences the immune system. Low glutathione can trigger neuroinflammation, which is also associated with ASD.
Glutamate regulation: Glutathione helps manage the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate in the brain. A glutathione deficiency can lead to excessive glutamate, causing "immunoexcitotoxicity," which some researchers believe worsens symptoms like motor planning issues and sensory problems.
