Can I squish my unborn baby while sleeping?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
There isn't much to worry about if you somehow find yourself on your stomach. The uterine walls and amniotic fluid protect your baby from being squished.

View allI'm 23 and just starting to get into intercourse. The first time really hurt, and I actually had to ask my boyfriend to stop because the pain was unbearable, although I didn't bleed. When we tried again, entering was easier, but it still stung quite a bit. I've heard it takes time for it to stop hurting and start feeling good, but I'm wondering if I should get checked now that I'm becoming sexually active. How long is it normal to experience this pain before it turns pleasurable? We've been using condoms as I'm aware of the side effects of the pill, and thankfully, my periods haven't been affected yet. Is there anything we can do to lessen the pain, or any tips for this situation?
Considering your painful experiences during intercourse, it's a good idea to consult a gynecologist to rule out any underlying conditions like vaginismus, vaginal dryness, or anatomical issues; in the meantime, you can try relaxation techniques, lubricants, and gradual, gentle penetration to reduce discomfort, and continue using condoms for contraception,

Why does a menstrual period happen only once per month?
The menstrual cycle is the monthly series of changes a woman's body goes through in preparation for the possibility of pregnancy. Each month, one of the ovaries releases an egg - a process called ovulation. At the same time, hormonal changes prepare the uterus for pregnancy. If ovulation takes place and the egg isn't fertilized, the lining of the uterus sheds through the vagina. This is a menstrual period.
