Precum, also referred to as pre-ejaculate, is a tiny amount of fluid that emerges from the penis upon arousal but prior to ejaculation. It doesn’t usually have any sperm in it.

Having sex shortly after having a baby
It is impossible to foresee how having a baby will impact your menstrual cycle. For some people, hormonal changes can result in irregular or delayed ovulation and periods. Some people start their period within a month, while others wait several months. It is possible to become pregnant right away after giving birth, even before your period resumes, even though it is unlikely to do so in the first few days or weeks after giving birth.
When a partner inserts their penis into your anus. Sperm can’t travel from the anus to the uterus. However, you might become pregnant if sperm escapes from the anus or enters the vagina from the outside.
