I'm feeling a bit concerned. My friend recently hugged her partner, and their lower private parts accidentally touched. She had on underwear and track pants, and he was wearing underwear and shorts. Is there any chance she could get pregnant from that?

No, it's highly unlikely that your friend could get pregnant in this situation. For pregnancy to occur, sperm needs to enter the vagina, which wasn't the case here. It's important to stay informed about safe practices to prevent any worries.

Can a baby hide on an ultrasound?

No. In the early weeks, up to eight, and rarely nine, the baby may not be seen by an ultrasound. The abdominal scan may miss it, a TVS will usually pick up the baby by 6 weeks , but it too may miss it in this period. But after this, ie after 9 weeks there is no question of the scan missing the baby.

I'm a 37-year-old woman who's had four abortions could this affect my sexual health or libido in the long run? I also had family planning surgery after the last abortion could frequent abortions have damaged my genital organs?

In most cases, a history of four abortions, even with a subsequent family planning surgery, is unlikely to significantly impact sexual health or libido in the long run. However, individual experiences can vary.
