I was with my boyfriend on December 31st and we got intimate, but there was no penetration and no ejaculation near my vagina. Could just rubbing our genitals lead to pregnancy? It's been five days and I'm feeling a little tightness in my lower belly. Could this just be anxiety or stress? My last period started on December 20th. What should I do?

Rubbing genitals without penetration and ejaculation near the vagina typically doesn't lead to pregnancy, but there's a very small risk if sperm comes in contact with the vaginal area. The tightness you're feeling could be due to anxiety, especially since your period was only a week ago. If you're concerned, taking a home pregnancy test or consulting with a healthcare provider can help ease your mind.

I'm currently 22 weeks pregnant and my anomaly scan showed my cervical length at 3.14 cm. My doctor has prescribed me gestofit 300 mg for 30 days as a progesterone supplement. Is this safe for me and the baby? Will it help increase my cervical length? I'd love some advice.

Gestofit 300 mg (progesterone supplement) is generally considered safe for you and your baby, and may help improve cervical length and reduce preterm birth risk, but closely monitor your condition and follow-up with your doctor to adjust the treatment plan as needed.

I've just realized I took Primolut for five days without knowing I was pregnant. I'm really nervous about whether this could affect my baby. Can you help me understand what to expect?

- taking Primolut (norethisterone) early in pregnancy is unlikely to harm your baby, but it's essential to stop it immediately now that you know. Please consult your OB-GYN for a detailed evaluation and guidance to ensure both your and your baby's health.
