I'm really curious and a bit worried about having sex during pregnancy. Is it safe for me and the baby? Also, if we decide to discontinue the pregnancy at some point, what are the safe options or timeframes I should be aware of while still being sexually active?

Sex during pregnancy is generally safe, but it's important to consult with your healthcare provider to ensure there are no complications or risks specific to your pregnancy. If you are considering discontinuing the pregnancy, it is crucial to seek medical advice as soon as possible to discuss your options and the safest course of action. It is not recommended to make decisions about pregnancy termination without consulting a healthcare professional.

I'm a bit worried about something going on with my wife. She's 18 weeks pregnant, and for the past month, she's been experiencing these shivers in the middle of the night, like once a week. They only last a short time, maybe 30 seconds to a couple of minutes. She feels really cold when it happens, but then shes back to normal pretty quickly. Is this something we should be concerned about? Its only happened twice, but I just want to make sure everything's okay. What do you think?

I'm really worried because I took the unwanted kit but I'm not bleeding. Should I try taking another one? If so, how many days should I wait? I'm 4 weeks pregnant and not considering surgical abortion. What should I do?

If there is still no bleeding after a few days, you should have an ultrasound. If you still do not bleed within a few days (and you are positive that you were pregnant), then you may have either an ectopic pregnancy or a continuing pregnancy and you should have an ultrasound

I've been feeling mild cramps in my abdomen, and I'm a little worried because there's minimal free fluid in my pelvis. Lately, my appetite isn't as strong as it used to be, and I frequently feel tingling in my hands and feet. Should I be concerned about these symptoms? What could be causing them?
