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.

I've always had this feeling - even now - that I should have insisted a doctor was brought to see Sarah.
She should not have been as warm as she was, especially as it was now after nine o'clock at night - more than six hours after the horrific events at the game had unfolded.

We talked about the lies that were circulating in some sections of the media, suggesting that drunken, loutish Liverpool fans without tickets had turned up late to the Hillsborough game and pushed their way in, contributing to the fatal crush - lies that had blackened the names of our children and the other victims who died or were injured that day.

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.

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. 

At our local chapel of rest, the undertaker's wife dressed Sarah and Vicki in their favourite clothes. I couldn't wait to welcome them home from their terrible ordeal and to have them back with me, in their own surroundings again.

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.

I hated the girls being in Sheffield on their own, in a cold, clinical environment where they knew no one. I began to go and sit in their wardrobes where, pulling the sliding doors to, I would cuddle and smell their clothes.
It was the closest I could get to giving them a hug.

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.

A source told : 'This is stuff she's passionate about - it isn't going to be an expose on life in a pop band, more an insight into her feelings about who she has become in that time, what she stands for and what she believes in.

As Dr. Robyn Horsager-Boehrer wrote in a post for UT Southwestern Medical Center, avoid medication formulated for multiple symptoms during pregnancy, as they can contain unnecessary amounts of acetaminophen. Also, she writes, natural cough remedies like a spoonful of honey can be just as effective (or more effective) than medication.

We met Marina Dalglish, wife of the Liverpool manager Kenny, and she sat with us. It was still only four days after the girls had died.
