I'm really curious and a bit nervous about having sex for the first time. What should both my partner and I know or do to make sure it's a good and safe experience for us both since it's our first time?

To have a good first-time sexual experience, it's important to communicate openly with your partner, take things slow, and prioritize each other's comfort and consent. Make sure to use protection to prevent sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies. It's also important to be aware of each other's boundaries and to stop if either partner feels uncomfortable. As for contraception, you can consider using condoms to prevent STIs and also consider using emergency contraceptive pills if needed.

View allI'm worried about the side effects of taking birth control pills. How long after taking them can I find out if I'm pregnant?
Common adverse effects of contraceptive pills include nausea, breast tenderness, mood changes, weight gain, and increased risk of blood clots, stroke, and high blood pressure; to confirm pregnancy, a home pregnancy test (HPT) can detect hCG hormone levels 7-10 days after conception, with accuracy increasing 2-3 days after a missed period, while a blood test can detect pregnancy 6-8 days after conception.

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.
