This commentary outlines the current drug labeling practices that potentially compromise the clinical care of pregnant women and their children. We highlight the need for drug manufacturers and lawmakers to change the status quo and consider practices and regulations that will provide much-needed guidance to clinicians on the safe administration of drugs to certain populations such as pregnant and nursing women. Current practices have de facto contributed to a situation in which evidence is inadequate for individual physicians and patients to weigh the risks and benefits of drug administration and make informed decisions for drug use during pregnancy and lactation.

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 March 2015.
All research outputs
#7,387,916
of 34,363,559 outputs
Outputs from American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology
#6,415
of 17,471 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#60,832
of 275,482 outputs
Outputs of similar age from American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology
#41
of 115 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,363,559 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 78th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 17,471 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 16.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 63% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 275,482 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 115 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its contemporaries.
