Yes I have two autistic children. Yes I took paracetamol in pregnancy. We get told it's the only 'safe' thing we *can* take.

"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration urges careful consideration before using any pain-relieving medication during pregnancy." is one of the more infuriating things I have read. You think I am taking pain relief for *fun*? I am taking it to *function*.

At one point I remember looking up through a migraine haze the likely effect of codeine on a developing brain, and concluding that the program for the day was to be in pain. That isn't sustainable over 9 months.
