Please be gentle on yourself during this journey, as stress can sometimes affect your body's natural balance. There is no special way to do it, just make sure you both are comfortable and happy. Take it one step at a time with a calm mind.

While the chances are practically zero without penetration, if you are very anxious about a specific incident, please consult your gynac. They can answer your doubts safely and prescribe emergency contraception if it is needed.

I totally understand how scary it feels to think that any intimate activity might hurt the baby. It is actually safe in a normal pregnancy, but if you feel anxious, there is no harm in taking a break or asking your doctor.

In my ghar, my MIL completely banned all bottled sodas and colas during my pregnancy. She used to make fresh pudina shorba or sweet lassi whenever I craved something cold. It was actually much better for digestion and kept me bloated-free.

They do a final growth scan and color doppler in the 9th month to check baby's position and the fluid levels. But please check with your gynac because every pregnancy is different and they will tell you the exact week you need to get it done. Don't skip any scans in this last month, safety first!
