Is Mucinex safe during pregnancy? There are a few different kinds of Mucinex (Mucinex, Mucinex D and Mucinex DM, for example) but some of the most common popular products contain guaifenesin, pseudoephedrine and dextromethorphan.

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.

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?

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.

The Nightmare star confessed she always 'feared' losing her beloved pooch, whom she adopted in 2017, and that she 'knew it would hurt', but found comfort and inner peace in thinking he'd make it through his health scare.

'It's definitely difficult to find balance. I think that's a common thing working moms share no matter what your job is. I want to work really hard so he's proud of me, but I also want to spend every single second cuddling him,' she said.

'I was too ashamed to say no': Louise Thompson admits she... Love might not be blind... but it IS dramatic! Love Is... Pregnant Alexandra Burke looks sensational as she shows off... Olivia Attwood, Max George and Christine McGuinness will go...

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. 

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. 

It's by Barcelona-based lingerie and swimwear brand Andres Sarda, which explains the barely there bodice! Bravo to stylist Law Roach for bringing this design to our attention, and for adding silver Stuart Weitzman platform sandals to round things off. Click through for a closer look.

Bottom line: Ask your health care provider before taking Mucinex or any cough medicine during pregnancy, so the two of you can weigh the severity of your symptoms with the potential risks (if any) of medication.
