Posted • In light of recent news, we would like to highlight that the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency () has confirmed that taking paracetamol during pregnancy remains safe and there is no evidence that it causes autism in children. (link to news story in comments)

You can also take the usual recommended doses of paracetamol if you are breastfeeding. Find more information in our Pain Relief (Analgesics) factsheet

If you need information on taking any medication while breastfeeding, please contact our Drugs in Breastmilk Service team on Facebook or via email: [email protected]

If you are unsure about taking any medication when you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you can also talk to your GP, health visitor, or midwife.

3. To humanise the statistics
4. To shape services that work
5. To amplify community solutions
6. To embed anti-racist care & cultural competency
7. To rebuild trust
8. To highlight links to maternal mortality

10. To elevate Black women’s leadership
