OTC Cold Medicines and Children: Not a Good Mix?

By Dr. Jeremy October 8, 2008 12:45pm 11 Comments

DrJeremy

Just last week, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) heard its most recent request to remove over-the-counter (OTC) cough and cold medications from the marketplace for children under 6 years of age (although some were asking for less than age 12). Why? Well, two reasons...no real data has shown them to be effective and the concern …

We have a member here, Heatherb52, who is working on her PhD dissertation. She contacted us to ask if any of the pregnancy community members would be able to help her gather research data. We thought this would be a great opportunity for our members to be involved in this exciting work.

Here is a little bit about Heatherb52, …

Another update...

Tuesday, October 7, 2008

My nurse called this morning and said I could lower my PIO to 1cc (as opposed to 2). YAY! She said my progesterone levels were great (kind of on the high side)...no wonder I am exhausted. The fatigue has set in BIG time today...like a load of bricks.
2nd beta in the morning...looking for 500+!!!

20 Weeks!

Tuesday, October 7, 2008 | A Positive story

I had an appointment yesterday with my perinatologist and she released me to just see my regular OB from now on unless anything else comes up. I'm still going to see her in the perinatal lab when I get ultrasounds done though. My next one is in two weeks to make sure Gabriel is growing like he should. I went to my regular ob's office today and saw the nurse midwife. ...

10 weeks away

Tuesday, October 7, 2008

I am 30 weeks today. I can not believe it that I am in the 30's now. I went to the breastfeeding class yesterday and it was very informative and gave good information. The lady said to be ready for baby to come 5 weeks before due date, cause you never know. That means I have 5 weeks to get lose ends tied up, but I have been doing good. If he came early now I woul...

Big Weekends!

Tuesday, October 7, 2008

We have had a couple big weekends in a row!Two weeks ago we went to my oldest brother's deployment ceremony before his deployment to Iraq. It is hard to see 300 troops, with 300 families, officially say "goodbye" to everyone. It was very emotional, but my brother seems like he is ready to go, and even thought I'm against this war, I'm very supportive of our troops, so I will...

Tuesday, October 7, 2008

I'm totally in shock. Went in for the sonogram this morning. Right away we could see two sacs! Zoomed in and we saw that both babies have perfect heartbeats. One baby is measuring 6w4d and the other is measuring 7w0d. Which is perfect since I'm 6w5d today. DH and I just stared at the screen. Didn't say a word. I was too overwhelmed to ev...

Tuesday, October 7, 2008

I had another Dr's appointment yesterday. He said that I still haven't dropped and I"m not "ripe" at all. So he said that he's going to induce me on Friday. I have to go into the hospital on Thursday and get have some gel inserted to ripen my cervix. I hope that will send me into labour. If not I have to go back on Friday and get the next step. Depending on how busy the...
