Another way to scare pregnant women By: Alexis Washington 2nd period

When a women becomes pregnant, she immediately starts thinking about the life that is now in her hands. They exercise, eat right, and take vitamins wanting make sure that their baby is healthy. A mother rarely consumes anything without consideration of the baby. Acetaminophen or Tylenol, is proscribed by doctors and physicians for pregnant women to treat mild aches and pains. A recent study of the pain reliever indicates that pregnant women who take the drug are putting their child at risk of ADHD. This is only one study, and so far it isn't really clear on how many children are affected. In all honesty, this is just going to make women even more paranoid. With any medication, you are supposed to read the side-effects, and other helpful information the company has given. If you are curious and want to know more, just consult a health care professional.

  1. this is very interesting. I agree it will make the woman more paranoid, because they want to have a healthy ''normal'' child.
