Question
Hi. I've had sex for my first time and we used protection. Is it normal to be freaking out about being pregnant?
Answer
Really glad to hear you used protection, so you should be less freaked out, but yes, it is pretty normal, and the stress is one of the reason some folks decide not to be sexually active. The worry about pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection comes with sexual activity.
