Paracetamol is commonly consumed by pregnant women, even though recent data has questioned the safety. Having chronic medical diseases (CMDs) may influence the prevalence of use during pregnancy. We aimed to assess the prevalence and patterns of use three months prior to pregnancy and in the first trimester among women with and without CMDs, and the potential influence of CMDs on frequent use in the first trimester.
