we welcome you back to "gma." gold medal swimmer simone manuel joining us live just ahead. first we've got a health alert for pregnant women about tylenol. it's a new study that suggests women would take it could increase the risks their babies develop behavioral problems. our chief women's health correspondent jen ashton is here now with the research and reality check. tell us more.

respected peer review journal. we're talking about one of the most commonly used medications acetaminophen that's used in pregnancy and this study found women who took it while they were pregnant went on to have children who were at increased risk for problems with conduct, hyperactivity and emotional issues. now, issues and flaws and limitations with this study. there is no data about why these women took acetaminophen in pregnancy. there's a thinking that the to take the medication could be implicated here. no data on how much they took, the dose or for how long, so more research definitely needed. >> yeah, because some doctors are saying they need a little bit more on that. so why would a pregnant woman take this. >> look, i think we have to remember that in obstetrics we have two pechalats here, a mother and a baby and so there can be maternal and fetal indications, pain, you're talking about anything from a headache to a muscle ache to a kidney stone so there's a

that is not good for a developing baby so that could be a fetal reason and then injury and surgery. that happens to pregnant women just like it happens to nonpregnant women so you have to weigh those. >> you've delivered, what, something like 1500 babies so you know of what you speak. so what do you recommend to your patients if they're having issues? >> this is so important. yesterday i was in touch with our national society and they came out very strongly against this study right now saying that th past show no clear evidence that provides a direct relationship between acetaminophen and any behavioral problems, we say it over and over again on abc because it's so important. association does not equal causation. we need to have the science and the biology to show a cause and effect before we make a sweeping recommendation and right now women should not be afraid to take this if they really need it. >> other things they can do if they're having certain issues?

to avoid aspirin, nonsteroidal, opioids have their issues so talk to your midwife or obstetrician. this is not the last we'll hear of it. >> or talk to you because dr. ashton will take your questions on twitter and facebook throughout the morning. we appreciate it. >> you bet. coming up, simone manuel is joining us opening up about her big victory. show us that bling. she's got to get ready to go back to school just like us. come on ba oh wow, what kind of underwear are those? they're breathable underwear from fruit of the loom.
