Episode Synopsis

Download our FREE C-Section guide here:   CSX Guide   Jen and Bethany unpack the recent Tylenol-in-pregnancy panic—where it came from, what the evidence actually shows, and how risk–benefit thinking should guide real decisions (especially if you're having a C-section or surgery in pregnancy). We talk association vs. causation, sibling-matched data, fever and infection risks, NSAIDs across trimesters, opioids, and why blanket "never" statements hurt moms.  What you'll learn Why association ≠ causation—and how sibling studies change the picture The difference between treating pain/fever vs. doing nothing in pregnancy NSAIDs by trimester Opioids: real risks, real indications How to use risk–benefit thinking like your care team does A simple breathing tool for anxious moments Takeaways Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time—that guidance hasn't changed. Untreated fever/pain can carry their own risks. Big, scary claims without context are red flags—ask for data, not headlines.   Website: csxpodcast.com    Email us: [email protected].   Follow us on instagram: @thecsxpodcast Birth Services + postpartum support: lemontreebabies.com.
