Ten questions about pregnancy that can not ask the doctor



Q1. Can I get pregnant following oral sex or heavy petting?
No. You can only get pregnant from full sexual intercourse.

Q2. How do I know if I'm pregnant?
If you have had sex since your last period and final for the current period, you may be pregnant. Following implantation of the fertilized egg menstruation should not occur, therefore, for women who have been sexually active and who have previously menstruated regularly, the absence of a period should be placed at pregnancy.

Q4. ¿Vaginal discharge increases during this time?

Q7. How soon can I have sex after childbirth?
