Haha if hugging caused pregnancy half the family would be pregnant after every Diwali. Don't worry, it's medically impossible. Hugs are safe, promise.

Sharada Ghosh · Answer

Beta you can't get pregnant from hugging anyone, please don't worry about this. Hugs, kisses on cheek, holding hands, none of that. Only direct intercourse can lead to pregnancy.

Geeta Soni · Answer

Pregnancy needs sperm and egg to meet, which only happens through intercourse, not skin contact or hugging. If you have any doubt about your situation it's always fine to ask a gynac, but a hug is completely safe.

Vijaya Iyer · Answer

No, hugging cannot cause pregnancy. Pregnancy happens only when sperm reaches the egg through intercourse. A hug is just a hug, relax.

Mridula Punjabi · Answer

Nope, not at all. There has to be actual intercourse for pregnancy to happen.
