Rosenthal recommends buying two to three high-quality nursing bras that you really like. You may need to replace them after a few months if the fabric stops feeling supportive or if your breast size significantly changes. 

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.

‘I had to pay for years of childcare – with a mortgage like millions of others. They are utterly selfish to have put you in this position and suggest if you have a good relationship with your son talk it out with him.’ 

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.

And Sam Everingham, global director of Growing Families, told the i  ‘It is such a difficult situation and we are getting many calls daily from couples who have got surrogates or embryos in Ukraine who are desperate for information.’

How to choose a nursing bra: When to shop, and how to figure out your size Choosing the best nursing bra for you depends on a few factors: your bust size, your style preferences (like sport, bralette, and hooks versus no hooks) and when you plan to wear it (daytime, nighttime, for exercising or just around the house). You’re also going to want something comfortable with a good fit, and that you can maneuver easily. Trust me, you don’t want to be fussing with snaps for long when you have a hungry baby on your hands.

Kindred Bravely maternity products aren’t cheap, but in my experience they’re worth the investment. This combo nursing and pumping bra was my go-to during an intense time of triple-feeding in order to increase my supply (for the uninitiated, that’s a grueling process of nursing/pumping/hand-expressing all day and night). It’s easy to throw on over your head without any clasps, and the hooks to access the layer for pumping and then nursing were easy to use — a major benefit for nighttime feeding and nursing sessions. The pumping portion holds the flanges in place so you can pump hands-free. Despite the extra layer of fabric for pumping, this bra was more comfortable and less lumpy under my clothes than other pumping bras I tried. Kindred Bravely also offers a similar, non-sports bra option, the Sublime Hands-free Pumping & Nursing Bra. 

The above bras (and others that I tested but didn’t make the list) were chosen for testing based on top reviews from popular vendors like Amazon and Target, as well as maternity brands like Kindred Bravely and Motherhood Maternity. But there are certainly many other brands that I haven’t tested. With clothing, everyone’s body is different, and my experience doesn’t represent all shapes and sizes. But I hope that it can help lead you to an option that will work for you. Drop a note in the comments about your favorite nursing bra that didn’t make the list.

Larger-busted people looking for more coverage will want to check out this bra from Motherhood Maternity. Similar to the Thirdlove bra above, this is an underwire option that closely resembles a traditional bra, and provides full coverage and more support. making it a good option to wear under tighter clothes. Again, just be aware that some experts advise against wearing underwire bras while nursing, but we know that sometimes you need that support during your nursing journey. 

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.

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.
