Dear Midwife,
I am a nurse and my friend asked me a couple questions the other day that I am not sure of the answers. She said that her husband and her just started trying for the first baby and he has never ejaculated inside of her. Since he started doing this, she has had a clear discharge that comes out quite frequently. It is not stringy or does it have an odor. What is this? Is it the remains of ejaculation escaping at a later time? Could it mean she is pregnant?
Dear Midwife,
I'm almost nineteen and my boyfriend and I have decided to start trying to get pregnant, but I have a few questions.
First, almost two years ago I got a pap and they said I had HPV. I got treatment for it and went back the next year and they said everything was fine. Could I still have it and if I do could HPV harm my baby when I am pregnant or giving birth?
Second, I still have my hymen, the skin that is supposed to go away when your younger. Should I get it removed before giving birth?
When you are pregnant it is important that you watch what you put into your body. Consumption of illegal drugs is not safe for the unborn baby or for the mother.
Women can have special risk factors for drug abuse. Women can become addicted quickly to certain drugs, such as crack cocaine. Therefore, by the time they seek help, their addiction may be difficult to treat
