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.

I'm in my second trimester and I'm thinking about starting to use something for moisturizing my skin to prevent stretch marks. Is Bio Oil safe to use during pregnancy? Could it harm the baby or cause any birth defects? I'm a little concerned and would love some guidance.

My 40-year-old mom has three kids and was diagnosed with fibroids. The doctor says it's nothing to worry about right now, but we're still concerned. Can fibroids shrink with medication, or is surgery the only option? We'd really appreciate some clarity on this.

Fibroids may shrink with medication, but if they cause significant symptoms or complications, surgery may become necessary. A second opinion from a gynecologist could help clarify the best course of action.
