So I've decided that pregnancy is the time for normal healthy women to come to the doctor and ask all those things they've been dying to know, but often have nothing to do with pregnancy. Today's topic was nipples

Uh... I want the answer to one of today's three topical questions, but I don't want to say which. :-)

See? Just dying to know :)

So, for general knowledge:
1. Just like any of our other orifices - as long as you keep it clean, a little saliva won't hurt.

2. Not any worse than popping a zit. Leaves you a little open to getting an infection, and makes it look worse than it did before. Avoid the popping, tempting though it may be.

3. No! We don't do episiotomies on everybody! We only do one if it looks like baby's head is gonna blow through and leave a path of destruction. Better to have nice clean edges to put back together - it'll make for a better repair and fewer consequences down the road.
