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.

Mr Linehan has gained notoriety in recent years for his vocal opinions on transgender rights and feminism, and he yesterday wrote 'men aren't women tho' in response to a Tweet wishing a happy Pride to transgender Women's institute members.

The post said: 'Im [sic] really sorry to barge in on you Mumsnetters with my problems, but I've finally been suspended from Twitter and I have a feeling they're either going to ban me or just take my verified tick. 

For Dr. Gloria Bachmann, an OB-GYN and the director of the Women's Health Institute at Rutgers University, the rule to follow is the same one she advises all pregnant people stick to, no matter the health concern or question: check with your doctor (or midwife, practitioner or other care provider). This is important not only before you consume a new medication, according to Bachmann, but also to make sure you don't write off a more serious illness as a common cold, allergies or even a mild case of COVID-19. 

In December she discussed her dislike for dating apps on her show, saying, 'It makes me feel like such a loser. And you're like you know what? It's just hard out there, it's hard out there for everybody. It's hard in person, it's hard on dating apps, it's vulnerable.'

'I've lost my niece, my little sister, my best friend ☹️ Life dealt you the harshest card but you always chose to win, you always fought to come out the other side above it all with a smile on your face.

'Decided to surprise my family and not tell them I'm coming home just to see their expressions, mom was speechless (touched me all to see if I was real, dad couldn't stop smiling and my god mother cried her eyes off)

'My kids' dad is happily remarried with the most wonderful woman in the world, Allie. My children have this extraordinary stepmom. And our processes have been different, and their side of the street is so functional, and whole, and happening. And I think I've been on the sidelines in a beautiful honoring purgatory,' she said.

However, she wasn't dismayed by her lack os success, stating: 'You keep trying, and you fill your life up with so much that it becomes secondary...I think a cherry on top to my life at some convenient, cool, inspiring, unexpected time might be in there - but that's all it is.'

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?

For several seasons now, capes have been going strong. And, as you can see with the flurry of cape dresses on the market, this silhouette will remain relevant in your closet for years. The military utilitarian movement is also showing no sign of slow-down. So it's worth an investment one way or another and whether you choose a twill casual version or a dressier wool one.

The Irish sitcom writer has been banned for 'hateful conduct', including using the word ‘groomer' in a years old post which was found by trans rights activists after he got embroiled in an argument with them.

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.

Pseudoephedrine is a common decongestant, found in Mucinex products such as Mucinex D, that works by narrowing the blood vessels in the nasal passages. And it's also one ingredient the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists recommends against during the first trimester due to a small risk of birth defects in the abdominal wall.
