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 a UTI during my pregnancy and I'm trying to figure out if C tax O 200 mg and Taxim O 200 mg are the same thing. Also, is it safe to take while I'm two months pregnant? My test results showed epithelial cells 5 to 6 hpf, pus cells 3 to 5 hpf with occasional clumps, occasional granular casts, and a few bacteria. Could you help me understand this better?
