OBGYN on Trump linking acetaminophen use during pregnancy to higher risk for autism

The Trump administration is telling pregnant people not to use acetaminophen to avoid having kids with autism.

Speaking on Monday at the White House, President Trump told pregnant women not to take Tylenol for pain, but to "tough it out."

Doctors' groups and autism advocates say one real risk for pregnant people is fever, and they've recommended Tylenol for years to treat that.

We get clarification on the science and advice from doctors with Dr. Nisha Verma, a board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist practicing in Georgia and Maryland, and a senior advisor for reproductive health policy and advocacy at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
