Taking Mucinex During Pregnancy: What To Know

Taking Mucinex During Pregnancy: What To Know
Description

"There are many aspects of a car seat system that relate to safety," says Herring. "The cover or padding on a car seat must meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards that relate to flame retardancy. This means it is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for cleaning. A load leg limits the downward rotation in a collision and acts to help the car seat absorb crash impacts to reduce the forces that the child might experience in a crash. An anti-rebound bar is also a feature on some car seats that acts to help reduce motion of a rear-facing seat in a crash."

'Unfortunately those types do exist but it's rare. Most adults can cope with a couple of kids for a few hours. She's not a stranger altogether, she's a neighbour's daughter. You're acting like it's some random of the street!'

The last phase of the car seat circle of life is the booster. The NHTSA recommends children 8 to 12 years old use a booster until they can properly fit in a vehicle seat belt, meaning the belt naturally crosses their waist, not their stomach. This can be super-embarrassing for a tween nipping at the heels of adolescence, which is why stealthy low-profile booster seats like the Safety 1st Incognito and Graco RightGuide exist. 

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. 

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 mother-of-two children, aged three and five, took to the UK parenting forum, to ask for advice after her husband asked their neighbour's daughter, who is in her early 20s, to step in even though they 'hardly know her'.

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.
