WATCH: Wisconsin OB-GYNs intercept the president’s false information

By Salina Heller

Mom guilt takes so many forms, starting the moment a person becomes pregnant. 🤰

Headache? Sore back? Bad cold? We typically reach for acetaminophen, known by the brand name Tylenol, without much concern.

When used as directed by doctors, it’s the safe way to treat pain and fever in pregnancy as well as in childhood.

But President Trump just gave moms more anxiety by blaming Tylenol for autism, without any proven scientific basis.

Wisconsin obstetrician-gynecologists say moms don’t have to “tough it out.” There’s no evidence that Tylenol use in pregnancy causes autism in the land of green and gold, or anywhere else.

Since day one, our goal here at UpNorthNews has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Wisconsin families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
