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 experiencing really low menstrual bleeding this month, not stopping completely though. It seems to only happen when I'm super active or during urination. I'm worried about what could be causing this. Any ideas?

Its possible that your low menstrual flow could be due to hormonal fluctuations, stress, or changes in your activity levels. It may also be linked to your recent health history, including any underlying conditions. If this continues or worsens, it's important to consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation.
