“ADHD is not an all or nothing deal like pregnancy, with either you are pregnant or you’re not pregnant and there’s nothing in between,” Brown explained in the video.

Some studies have also associated low folate levels during pregnancy with an increased risk of autism.

According to Offit, mothers weren’t always screened, tests could produce false-negative results, and pregnant moms can contract the disease later in pregnancy.

Some scientists have said that warnings against acetaminophen are premature, because the drug is the only fever reducer recommended to women at some points in pregnancy.
