When studied: majority of samples of pre-ejaculate carried sperm (variable amounts). So - yes pre-ejaculate can cause pregnancy.

A 38-year-old member asked:
Is it safe to travel by airplane during pregnancy?

Dr. Sheila Goodman answered
Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology
Yes: In an uncomplicated pregnancy, it is generally safe to travel up until about the last month. Travel above 10, 000 ft in an unpressurized cabin can cause problems with the placenta. Sitting for prolonged periods in an airplane can increase your risk of blood clots in your legs so getting up every 2 hours is important.

What exercises should I avoid while pregnant?

Specializes in Preventive Medicine
Heavy weightlifting: In general, exercise in pregnancy is not only safe, but offers health benefits. We suggest avoiding oxygen-depriving exercises like heavy weightlifting or marathon running. Two great rules of thumb while working out: keep your pulse rate under 140 or maintain the ability to converse with your exercise partner!

Can small amounts of precum cause pregnancy like smaller then a dime?

Very unlikely, but: Many things are possible in life, even if they rarely happen. Pregnancy is not likely with just pre-ejaculate (but is possible). However, if not married, settled down, and planning to start a family, a couple should begin using a reliable form of birth control about yesterday.
