Jenna Elfman Happy To Be Out of First Trimester

The Accidentally on Purpose actress says that the first trimester of her pregnancy was rough with filming and taking care of her 2-year-old son.

Jenna Elfman who is currently pregnant with her second child and in late winter/early spring says that she is happy that she is past the stages of extreme nausea and fatigue that came with the first trimester.

She says, “I was massively tired and had nausea and I didn’t have any of that during my first pregnancy. I was filming the show with insomnia and nausea and then going home to a 2-year-old who’s very active. It was a bit daunting. But I’m past the first three months now and I feel like my head is screwed on better.”

The actress also says that her 2-year-old son Story Elias is “so sweet” and gives her tummy kisses.

Jenna is currently starring in her new sitcom Accidentally on Purpose, in which she also plays a pregnant character.

Cough Medicines A Waste Of Money For Young Kids

Government health experts have admitted that popular over-the-counter cough and cold medicines probably do not work on children.

New evidence also indicates that they may cause side effects such as hallucinations, insomnia, and allergic reactions.

Parents are being advised not waste money on buying the medicines, but not to worry if they have used them in the past.

Many of the medicines can no longer be sold to children under six, and better information will be provided for Pharmacists and parents.

Calpol, a popular pain relief remedy, used to lower a child’s temperature, will not be affected by the change in rules.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) recommend parents use more simple remedies such as honey and lemon to ease a cough.

Dr June Raine from the MHRA said: “Over-the-counter medicines used to treat coughs and colds have been used for many years.
“However, they came into use when clinical trials were not required to demonstrate that they worked in children. This means they were not specially designed for children.”

The MHRA have named eight medicines that do work and are safe to use on young children over the age of one. See below for the full list.
