Just a curiosity. I hate taking medication and now that I am pregnant, I feel that I should everything I can to protect my baby. Some studies came out regarding potential long term effects of paracetamol. This research is not conclusive and more needs to be done. I would like to know more about this.

I took bloody loads. Often the maximum dose for 24hrs several times a week (not every week but it would be rare I’d manage much more than a week without any).

I used to take stronger painkillers pre pregnancy so when I could only take paracetamol I needed a lot.
I was also on aspirin.
