Question

I'm 20 weeks pregnant and my doctor recommended Dexorange syrup for me. I'm a bit concerned because I noticed it contains 5.5% alcohol. Is it safe for me to be taking this during pregnancy?

Dexorange syrup contains iron and other vitamins, but the alcohol content is a concern during pregnancy. While the amount is small, it's best to consult your doctor regarding its use, as alcohol consumption during pregnancy is generally advised against. Your doctor may suggest an alternative iron supplement without alcohol.

Question

I'm a bit worried about a possible pregnancy risk. We were involved in fingering and jerking off, and I made sure to wear a condom the whole time, and also changed it during the act. Is there any chance sperm could've transferred from my fingers when I rubbed her vagina, even though I didn't insert them? She took an i-pill just to be safe, but I'm still anxious. What are the chances of pregnancy in this situation?
