Question
1 month pregnant and needs to know what is good and what is bad to eat, do any important information on having a good baby. Is it okay to still have unprotected sex while being pregnant and till when is it not okay to do it?

Answer
Mary,

As for eating. Stay away from spicy foods and too much caffiene. Obviously alcohol, and be wary of tylenol and other medicines, always check with your doctor. As for sex, you can have unprotected sex as far along into your pregnancy as it is comfortable for you. Usually around the 9th month though sex becomes both difficult and can be painful.
