One of the largest studies, in terms of numbers, taking data from the United Kingdom, Denmark, the Netherlands, Italy, Greece, and Spain, states that paracetamolincreases the risk of autismand ADHD in children.
It should be specified that the increased probability is zero if used for a short period, no more than 8 days during pregnancy.
The research states that the use of the drug if limited to only one trimester, increases the risk of having a child with ADHD by 7% more, up to 22% for women who took the medication for two trimesters and up to 27% if used throughout the pregnancy, compared to children who were not exposed.
Results that confirm a previous study.
Paracetamol remains however the safest drug for pregnant women and children who want to relieve pain or lower temperature.
A piece of advice from us at PaginadiNursingUp is to focus on prevention.
For example, have your teeth cleaned by the 20th week, drink plenty of water, avoid smoking and alcohol, minimize carbonated and sugary drinks, coffee.
Helpful is a quiet and calm environment, as pregnant women are more sensitive to noise, shouting, arguments. An excellent anti-stress is reading, perhaps a good book about pregnancy.
Having sex during pregnancy? It is not dangerous as long as you do not have a high-risk pregnancy, and in that case your doctor will prohibit or advise you. There are medical and gynecological situations for which rest is recommended to the patient, in these cases sexual activity should be suspended.
