Taking Mucinex During Pregnancy: What To Know

Taking Mucinex During Pregnancy: What To Know
Description

Yawning, snoozing and cradled by nannies, Ukraine's surrogate babies are pictured in a makeshift underground nursery in Kyiv as Putin's missiles rain down above- leaving their biological parents unable to collect them. 

If you've ever considered taking medicine while pregnant -- or you've had the TV on long enough to hear the commercial line "tell your doctor if you're pregnant or breastfeeding" -- you'll know there's a giant disclaimer that comes with taking anything during pregnancy. Despite the big caveat and lack of medical research on pregnant people, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that nine in 10 women will take at least one medicine during pregnancy. 

Can you guys stop painting her out to be an amazing mom?' Alabama said online last May. 'Did your moms ask to see you on Mother's Day [because] mine didn't? I'm done keeping it a secret, reality shows.'

But back to the jacket for a second. It's from Karen Millen and not only does it feature shoulder seam detailing and flap pockets, it's a versatile style that you can layer up in the day, then style it like Vogue for evening. Click through to buy it now while it's reduced to £244.30.

The mother-of-two, who shares Theodore, three, and nineteen-month-old Gigi with husband and founder of CleanCo Spencer Matthews, also discussed the 'whirlwind' of parenting as the campaign centred on celebrating parents and alcohol-free spirits ahead of Mother's Day. 

Determining the risk of the other active ingredients found in Mucinex is a little trickier. Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant that works by interfering with the "cough" signal in your brain. Guaifenesin works by loosening the mucus in your chest. There are some reports of a small risk of neural tube defects linked to guaifenesin, but the evidence is inconclusive. It's listed in a report by the American Academy of Family Physicians as "might be unsafe during first trimester." In the same report, dextromethorphan is listed as "appears to be safe in pregnancy," but as is true for many drugs and ingredients, there isn't enough evidence to say conclusively either way.

With allergy season approaching, and COVID-19 still here, many people are reaching for over-the-counter medication in the hopes of relieving congestion or getting through a cough. What about one of the most popular ones, Mucinex?

She joined Spencer Matthews at a CleanCo event in London on Wednesday, wearing a black leather belted sleeveless jacket, which she teamed with WARDROBE.NYC stirrup leggings (the brand is loved by the likes of Gigi Hadid and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley), as well as a pair of metal heel shoes from Kurt Geiger.

A week after the alleged attack, the former beauty queen and Alabama reunited for a sweet Instagram selfie after months of back-and-forth last year about Shanna's lack of hands-on parenting compared to Travis.
