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.

Why does a menstrual period happen only once per month?

The menstrual cycle is the monthly series of changes a woman's body goes through in preparation for the possibility of pregnancy. Each month, one of the ovaries releases an egg - a process called ovulation. At the same time, hormonal changes prepare the uterus for pregnancy. If ovulation takes place and the egg isn't fertilized, the lining of the uterus sheds through the vagina. This is a menstrual period.
