Epidurals During Childbirth Tied to Higher Autism Risk

Children whose mothers were given an epidural during labor may face a slightly heightened risk of autism, a large, new study suggests.

Researchers found that the rate of autism was a little higher among those kids, versus their peers whose mothers did not get epidural pain relief during childbirth: 1.9% versus 1.3%.

The reasons for the difference are not yet known. And experts stressed that the findings do not prove epidurals directly raise the odds of a future autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis.

    • This is as true as their study that pregnant women eating spaghetti and meatballs have red-haired children. Do some research and find out why the rich and educated who who are given epidurals do not have autistic children.

  1. The moms who choose natural birth also raise their children with the same philosophy.
    Epidurals make for a more difficult afterbirth recovery. These findings are not surprising

    • Epidurals do not make a harder recovery. I speak from experience in giving birth naturally (four times) and giving birth with epidural (twice). Recovery is not contingent on epidural. That’s a myth.

    • natural births? does that take into account baby’s dead because they couldn’t get to a hospital in time? take your natural phoney baloney stuff elsewhere

  2. Correlation/causation

    Is it the epidural, or the more difficult labor (which led the mother to choose epidural), which os responsible for the increase?

  3. -If you believe vaccines cause autism, it’s nearly certain that people who don’t vaccinate also do not get epidurals. This would be an example of a correlation, not a causation.

    -If you are a “natural” person you are
    A) Far less likely to get an epidural
    B) Far less likely to get your autistic child diagnosed

    Again, correlation does not equal causation.

    • Wrong assumption. Bobkess! Those who believe vaccines cause autism and other medical issues have no problem getting epidurals and none of their children are autistic. Epidurals have nothing to do with autism even though big pharma is trying to convince you otherwise.

  4. So if I never got an epidural and my son is autistic, then what ?
    The fact that he became autistic after his vaccines , no , I’m sure that’s impossible since it doesn’t fit the agenda . Sorry , this article is nonsense . Getting vaccines put your child at risk for autism. It was even a side effect written on the Dtap vaccine. But I’m sure we can’t go there cause the doctor said it’s not true.
    I Can’t believe people still believe these lying doctors . Mind boggling how a bunch of sheep will keep on vaccinating to prevent imaginary diseases. And don’t talk to me about the polio vaccine that cause the paralysis. We know it caused the spike in polio as admitted by dr Jonas Salk , who made the vaccine.

    • I agree with you totally. Most people do not have a mind of their own and just agree with their doctors even though doctors are not obligated to do any research. A family member of mine went to a “known” “top doctor” out of town who almost killed the child. He then was healed by a local GP who saved the child.

  5. TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE TO POST THIS. HAVE SOME SAICHEL!! WHY MAKE WOMEN NERVOUS FOR NO REASON! NEWSMAX IS FAR FROM A RELIABLE SOURCE! DOES ANYONE ACTUALLY RUN THIS SITE OR CAN ANYONE JUST POST WHATEVER THEY WANT??

  6. Wow. So matzav stepped in it and now has no clue as to how to extricate themselves so they’ve fallen back on the cowardly tried and true strategy: censor peoples comments. Wow. So mature.
