In the Beginning

I don't have morning sickness. Is something wrong?

You are lucky! Some women are more sensitive to the hormone changes of pregnancy than others. If you do not have morning sickness, this doesn't mean there is a problem with the pregnancy.
 

Can I still have sex? Will it hurt the baby?

You can have sex during pregnancy as long as it is comfortable, there is no bleeding, no ruptured membranes, and no history of premature labor. Changing positions as pregnancy advances may be more comfortable. Oral sex is safe as long as your partner does not blow air into the vagina since air could enter the blood stream. Sex will not hurt the baby.

Can I go to the dentist?

Absolutely. Good dental hygiene and care are essential. Always inform the dentist that you are pregnant and avoid unnecessary x-rays. Any anesthetics or medications should be cleared by your obstetrician before they are administered.
