Before the Ball Drops

New Year’s Eve can be fun, flirty, and full of unexpected moments — but it’s also one of the busiest nights of the year for unplanned pregnancies and STI exposure.

In this quick mini-episode, Dr. Meghan (OB-GYN) and Nurse Sydney (L&D Nurse) break down what safe sex actually looks like on New Year’s Eve, including:

• Common myths about condoms & birth control
• How alcohol can affect protection
• STI risks people don’t think about in the moment
• What to do after sex if protection failed or wasn’t used

No shame, no scare tactics — just honest, evidence-based advice so you can start the new year informed and protected.
