I'm really worried because I just realized that I've been drinking water from a dark bottle for the past couple of days, and it turns out there are these tiny red worms in it. I'm six months pregnant, and now I'm freaking out a bit. Are these worms harmful or dangerous for me and my baby?

No need to worry, all the red worms will be killed & digested with the acid present in your stomach. It is a protein rich diet

I'm a bit concerned because yesterday I did some dry humping while wearing my panties and shorts, and this morning I noticed some black accumulation that might be blood. Should I be worried about this? I'm not a virgin, so I'm a bit confused about what's going on. Can you help me understand what this could be?

Its possible that the black accumulation you noticed is old blood, which can happen due to friction or minor irritation. Since you're not a virgin, it could also be related to your menstrual cycle. If the symptoms persist or you experience discomfort, it's best to consult a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation.
