This Auden bra offers a great combination of comfort and support — not as much as a full coverage option but certainly more than a bralette. I’d describe it as a cross between a sports bra and a traditional bra, with a stretchier fabric and removable padding. This was my go-to bra in the later months of pregnancy when I wanted to be comfortable, but still have something with enough support to wear out in public. It was also easy to access for nursing once the baby arrived. Because it’s one of Target’s lines, it’s also a more affordable option.

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.
A women’s group last week filed a civil complaint against the University of Pennsylvania for allowing Thomas to compete on its team for breaking Title 9, which was introduced to stop sexual discrimination in sport.

If you want an underwire option (see more about this below), particularly as you move on from the first months of breastfeeding, the ThirdLove 24/7 Classic Nursing Bra is the closest I found to a traditional bra. This is a good choice for larger-chested people, offering full coverage. I found the gold clasps were slightly more difficult to undo than some of the others on this list, but not terrible. I also don’t know the purposes of the pleated straps, but they made it easy to recognize which bra I was grabbing out of my drawer in a sleep-deprived haze.

This bralette from Target’s Auden collection is simple, comfy and affordable. It’s great for everyday wear toward the end of pregnancy and also in the early days when you’re mostly at home nursing. There are no clasps or snaps, and you can easily access your breast and stick it back in as needed. It also works as a regular bra under clothes. It’s slightly more supportive than other bralettes I’ve tried, but as some have noted in the online reviews, this isn’t the best choice for larger-chested people who need a more structured option. It would also make a good option for a bra to wear while sleeping. Added bonus: It comes in a two pack.
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.
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?
If you want to buy a nursing bra while you’re pregnant, it’s best to wait until you’re at least eight months along, Rosenthal said. Most parents tend to prefer a less structured nursing bra for the first few months as your breasts change in size, she added. If you’re looking for a more structured option, it’s best to wait until your baby is three to four months old, when your supply has been regulated.
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.
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.
She beat one female athlete to a place on the Pennsylvania team. She kept a second out of the semi-finals and another out of the final. The fourth-placed swimmer was denied a place on the podium and runner-up Emma Weyant, the first actual female in the race, lost out on being the NCAA champion.
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.
