I treat pregnant patients in the ER. Trump’s advice is ridiculous.

The science of determining medication risk during pregnancy is complex. Recommendations change over time as we accumulate more scientific evidence, and all health care providers agree that we should limit unnecessary medication use during pregnancy. But right now, there is no convincing evidence to support a causal relationship between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism. On the other hand, there is plenty of evidence that physiological stress on a mother can be harmful to a developing fetus. High fevers can cause miscarriage, premature birth and birth defects. And even if we ignore fetal risk, women should not have to unnecessarily grit their teeth through fever and pain for nine months.
