Can I get pregnant from a toilet seat or other things like that?
The toilet seat can pass on a lot things, but pregnancy is not one of them. A toilet seat carries tons of bacteria, but you cannot get pregnant nor can you get sexual transmitted infections such as HPV, herpes or chlamydia.
Now is also a good time to do a short birds ‘n’ bees talk on how conception works (and how it doesn’t work).
Each month, a woman ovulates producing an egg, which can be fertilized by sperm for a 24-hour period. Ovulation tends to happen in the middle of the cycle typically around day 14 of a 28-day cycle. The male ejaculate contains millions of sperm in about a teaspoon worth of fluid. If the sperm has been deposited in the vagina, it will start searching for the woman’s egg. Fertilization typically takes place in a woman’s fallopian tube, which is the tube connecting to the uterus. The ovary releases one egg each month into the fallopian tube, which catches the egg. It then travels through the tube waiting to find the sperm.
The sperm has to be released in the vagina or near the vaginal opening in order to swim up travel through the cervix and uterus head towards the egg. It only takes one sperm of the millions to find and fertilize the egg. Sperm can live for 3-5 days inside the body and prefer a warm and moist environment. If the egg is not fertilized by sperm within 24 hours, the egg disintegrates, and within two weeks, you will get a period.
Instances Where Pregnancy Is Unlikely
Going back to you question about getting pregnant from other means (in this case, the toilet seat), if your boyfriend masturbates in the bathroom and ejaculates on the toilet seat, his sperm would probably live for a few minutes or until it dries. When sperm is on a dry surface, such as sheets, clothing, fingers, skin and toilet seats, sperm is dead once it becomes dry. If sperm is released in water, such as a warm bath or hot tube, it may live longer since it’s a preferred environment. But the chances of you getting pregnant if there are sperm floating around in a hot tube are next to nil.
A common question is “If my boyfriend ‘cums’ on my thigh, can I get pregnant?” As long as your BF’s ejaculate with the billions of actively swimming sperm stay clear of the vaginal opening your chance of getting pregnant is unlikely. If the ejaculate is in direct contact with the vaginal opening there is a chance of getting pregnant. The likelihood is much less compared to vagina-penis sex.
Instances Where Pregnancy Is Possible
If the penis is inside the vagina right before ejaculation there may be a release of fluid called “pre-ejaculation” or “pre-cum.” This liquid might contain active and viable sperm putting you at risk of getting pregnant. There is a type of birth control called the “withdrawal” or “pull out” method, which is when the penis is pulled out of the vagina right before ejaculation. This method is also known as “pull and pray” since the “pre-cum” can be left in the vagina unknowingly (and can potentially lead to pregnancy).
Know your body and how it functions. Before you even think about becoming sexually active, see your health care provider to discuss birth control options and sexually transmitted infection prevention.
Education is power and serves as your first step to preventing pregnancy.

Constipation is a common, unpleasant part of pregnancy. But there are simple, straightforward lifestyle changes you can make to get relief. Your healthcare provider can recommend medications that may help, too. Usually, your symptoms will resolve after you have your baby.

Having constipation means that you’re struggling to poop, or have a bowel movement. It happens when the food that your body no longer needs (waste) hardens in the lower part of your digestive tract (bowel) instead of moving out as a stool. Most people have had the unpleasant experience of being constipated before, but it’s even more common when you’re pregnant. The hormone changes in your body that make pregnancy possible can increase your chances of becoming constipated.

You may start to feel constipated once the hormone levels in your body increase to support your pregnancy. The changes can happen as early as the second or third month of your first trimester.
About 16 to 39% of people get constipated at some point during pregnancy. You’re most likely to get constipated in the third trimester, when the fetus is heaviest and putting the most pressure on your bowel. Constipation can happen in all three trimesters, though. Sometimes, you’ll continue to be constipated up to three months after the baby’s born.
Hormone changes in your body during pregnancy and your daily habits can increase your chances of constipation. Causes for constipation during pregnancy include:
Releasing a stool feels satisfying. Constipation feels just the opposite. You can tell you’re constipated when:
Sometimes, constipation leads to or worsens hemorrhoids and anal fissures. Like constipation, both conditions are common during pregnancy.
You may feel constipated during pregnancy, but being constipated doesn’t mean you’re pregnant. There are better ways to tell if you’re pregnant , like taking a pregnancy test .
Your healthcare provider may ask you how much you’re pooping and what your stools look like. Other questions about your daily habits can help your provider find out what’s likely causing your constipation or making it worse. Your provider may ask:
You can’t stop pregnancy hormones from making it harder for you to poop, but you can make other changes that can help.
If you can’t get relief through lifestyle changes, your healthcare provider may prescribe a laxative or a fiber supplement that can help. Always check with your provider before taking any laxatives or supplements, though. Not all of them have been tested for safety and effectiveness during pregnancy. Avoid home remedies for constipation, like castor oil or mineral oil, unless your provider recommends you take them.
Some laxatives can cause you to become dehydrated and imbalance your electrolytes. This is why it’s so important to be sure that you’re taking the right laxative and that you’re taking it for the right amount of time. Speak to your provider to be sure.
You can reduce your risk of becoming constipated by doing the same things you would do to manage constipation. Pay attention to how much fiber you’re eating and fluids you’re drinking. Schedule exercise that feels doable for you. Walking, swimming, yoga, pilates and light aerobics are all good options to keep your bowel active.
After you’ve had your baby and your hormone levels begin to return to their pre-pregnancy levels, your bowel movements will likely return to normal.
Reach out to your provider if you’ve been constipated for longer than a few weeks. Don’t dread trips to the bathroom when your provider can help you. Be sure to get your provider’s OK on any medication you take when you’re pregnant. This includes fiber supplements and laxatives.
No. All the pressure that builds up in your belly because of constipation may make you worry for your baby. But don’t stress. Constipation may be unpleasant for you, but it won’t harm your baby.
You may have to make some changes to manage constipation when you’re pregnant. But there are straightforward things you and your provider can do to help get you relief. The foods you eat, the fluids you drink, the exercise you do and the medicine you take all make a difference when it’s time to visit the toilet. Put good habits into place so that your memories of pregnancy don’t include having to suffer through uncomfortable bowel movements.
