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 Safety 1st is a good buy at its full retail price of $180, but it's an even better one if you can find it for less. It can sometimes be found at a significant discount. As a primary or second seat, the Safety 1st Grow and Go is a fine choice.

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. 

As its name implies, the Grow and Go All-in-One grows with your child, going from rear-facing to forward-facing to a belt-positioning booster seat. The seat is relatively light and installs easily using clip-style LATCH hooks. The LATCH belt cinches down with little effort, providing a tight fit to the seat cushions. The seat fabric is breathable and is quick to remove for easy cleaning. The cup holders are also easy to keep clean, unscrewing with a quarter twist so you can wash out all the juice and milk residue that will inevitably build up.

The Graco 4Ever DLX Four-in-One is an all-in-one convertible car seat that has four different use modes. Naturally, you have front- and rear-facing configurations. Then you have a high-back booster and backless booster for later in your kids' life. The DLX part of the name means this seat comes with more safety features over the regular 4Ever model. The 4Ever is designed to last up to 10 years, covering you from the day you bring them home from the hospital to the last day they ever ride in a booster seat (I'm not crying, you're crying!). 

"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."

"There are a range of seats and no two are the same," she says. "We all have the challenge of learning to use something new correctly, but it is important for parents to feel confident in how their seats operate. If there is a lot of frustration or confusion with certain aspects of the car seat, it may be beneficial to look for a system that the caregivers feel more confident in using. Reading the car seat owner's manual and referring to the manufacturer for resources is a great start. Caregivers can also find a certified CPST to help them navigate how their car seat operates."

The Scenera Next would be great as a seat for the grandparents' car or as a backup that you can easily throw in any car when needed. Its ultralightweight construction would also make it a good choice for air travel.

He had been so affected that he had even spoken about giving up his playing career.
I stressed to him that neither Sarah nor Vicki would want him to do that. I told John that if they knew he was thinking like that, it would make them very sad.

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. 

The little Baptist church where they had both been regulars was packed, including 50 students who'd come down on a coach from Liverpool University that morning.
There were so many people that they had to stand in side rooms where the girls used to go to Sunday school, and even outside.
