I'm curious about whether it's safe for my husband to suck my nipples as much as he does. We've been doing this for years where he enjoys doing it for about 40 minutes every other night, followed by clitoral stimulation and then sex. I came across some information suggesting this might not be safe, and it's got me a bit worried. Can you shed some light on this?

Nipple sucking is generally safe as long as there are no infections, open sores, or excessive force that could cause discomfort or injury. If you experience any pain, irritation, or unusual symptoms, its best to consult a doctor for guidance. Otherwise, it's a normal part of intimacy for many couples.

I'm really worried because I got my test results back and it says my baby might have Trisomy 21 and it's classified as a high risk. Can you help me understand what this means for my baby? What steps should I take next? I'm feeling really anxious about this situation.

A Trisomy 21 positive result with high risk indicates a strong likelihood of Down syndrome in your baby, which can affect physical and intellectual development; consult your doctor or a genetic counselor to discuss the results, understand the risks, and consider further testing options, such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling, to confirm the diagnosis, and prepare for potential outcomes.

I'm really curious about finding out the gender of my baby! I've got sonography scan reports from my 20-week appointment. Do you think you could take a look at them and tell me if it's a boy or a girl?

Gender determination is usually done during a specific ultrasound examination. If you are curious about the gender of your baby, I recommend discussing this with your healthcare provider during your next prenatal visit. Please be informed that this is illegal in most parts of India.
