When a woman becomes pregnant, everyone is only seeing a fragile infant that has to be protected from the environment.
That evolution already provides the infant with some very strong protection including two blood barriers to protect the developing brain is easily overseen.
The dosis makes the poison and there are numerous examples of addicted, underfed, stressed and overworked pregnant women giving birth to healthy intelligent childs, even in dirty and polluted environments.
Drinking a beer or taking medicine is not harming the child in any way, as long as it is done in moderation.
The paracetamol problem is an old one, because people tend to take to much of it, when feeling the slightest discomofort. Combined with coffein, aspirin and or alcohol it has a huge draw on liver and kidneys.
You have to diffentiate between taking a pill once a month and eating one package per week. Both would be inside the recommended dosage, but are clearly different.
For pregnant women it is a bit more difficult than 9 month from modern comforts, so some little remedy once in a while can go a long way.
