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've been feeling some slight pain in my left breast, mostly on the side and upper part. It kinda feels like a bruise when I touch it, but the skin looks completely normal. I'm a bit concerned and was wondering what might be causing this. Should I be worried? My period just finished last week. Any thoughts?

There are several possible reasons for breast pain, especially around the time of menstruation. Since your period just ended, this could be related to hormonal changes. It is common for women to experience breast tenderness or pain before, during, or after their menstrual cycle. However, other possible causes of breast pain should be evaluated and ruled out. It would be advisable to visit your physician for a consult.

I've been having these intense cravings to eat slate pencils during my pregnancy, and it's getting hard to ignore. I'm really concerned and want to stop this habit. Can you suggest any ways to help me overcome these cravings?

This condition is known as pica, and it is important to address it for the health of both you and your baby. To help curb this craving, you can try taking iron supplements like Ferrous Sulfate or Folic Acid supplements like Folvite. These supplements can help address any nutritional deficiencies that may be contributing to your cravings. Additionally, you can try snacking on healthy alternatives like fruits, nuts, or seeds to help distract yourself from the craving. It is also important to stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet to support your overall health during pregnancy.
