Asma Khalil: Paracetamol in Pregnancy and the Importance of Evidence-Based Communication
Asma Khalil, Professor of Maternal Fetal Medicine at St. George’s Hospital, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“WHEN EVIDENCE SPEAKS, FEAR SHOULD NOT.
In 2025, headlines around the world left many pregnant women frightened that taking paracetamol during pregnancy could increase the risk of autism.
For some, the fear was so great they sought reassurance that simply wasn’t possible through a scan. Others were left carrying unnecessary guilt, believing they may have harmed their baby.

Watch the full conversation here.”
