Unfortunately, it doesn't always work out that way, despite how much we complain to the powers that be. So, this article on which medicines are safest to take during pregnancy will have to come in at a close second.

You'll find a great chart that lists symptoms and safe medications you can take while pregnant.as well as some tips on using alternative therapies.

Sporting the stylish tissue up your nose while sleeping? Check out this article for tips on Preventing Flu in Pregnancy and see how to maintain your sleeping beauty charm the next time flu season rolls around.

NO medication is safe before, during and after pregnancy. Including immunizations. I will never get another flu shot and if I have a daughter, she will not be getting that gardasil and absolutely no chicken pox vaccine. We are setting up our kids to have immune systems that fail. My generation turned out fine without all that crap.
