Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. You have been trying to become pregnant. What is likely to be the first sign you notice that tells you may be expecting a baby?

Answer: missed period

You shouldn't gain weight in the early stages of pregnancy and you won't feel the baby moving until your pregnancy is much further forward. A missed period is most likely the first thing you'll notice, particularly if you have been trying for a baby.
2. You're four weeks pregnant and it's time for your first check-up with your midwife. She measures how big your stomach is. What does she measure it in?

Answer: centimeters

She will measure it in centimeters. A good rule of thumb in deciding how many weeks pregnant you are is to compare your measurements with standard tables.
3. You're in early pregnancy and with the bright sunlight the next morning, nausea washes over you. What do you call this?

Answer: morning sickness

When you're pregnant it is called morning sickness. They call it this because it often goes away in the afternoon. It is very common during pregnancy.
4. By twenty weeks, you're pretty excited and happy, once you get over the aches and pains. Today, you will decide whether or not to see if it's a boy or a girl. You decide to wait and be surprised. But while examining you, your midwife notices some things. She thinks you may go into early labor. She asks if you've had stomach pains lately and you said yes. Is this a sign of early labor?

Answer: It may be

Some stomach pain around 20 weeks may be a sign you'll go into early labor. It may not happen, but it's something to watch closely.
5. At 30 weeks, you're getting pretty nervous. Your stomach's big, your ankles are swollen, everything hurts. Your midwife tells you it won't be long until you'll give birth. To prepare, you try different birthing________, like the squat and on all fours to see what works best.

Answer: positions

It's a good idea to see what positions work best for you before the actual labor and birth. Just don't practice pushing, as it can cause unnecessary strain on the cervix.
6. At 35 weeks, you wake up in the middle of the night with what you think are contractions. You begin timing them, but fall asleep in the middle of it. They were probably which of these?

Answer: Braxton-Hicks contractions

If the pain isn't enough to keep you awake, its probably a Braxton-Hicks contraction, or a fake contraction. Real contractions will increase in pain.
7. You wake up about 3 A.M. in pain. You quickly wake up your husband, seeing it's too bad to time the contractions yourself. When they get to three minutes apart you think it's time to call your midwife. She agrees it's time and she rushes down. While waiting, you feel leakage. What just happened?

Answer: waters broke

When you feel wetness when you're pregnant, your waters probably broke. The contractions will come closer together and get more intense the closer you get to giving birth.
8. When the midwife arrives, she examines you, and feels your cervix. What is she checking?

Answer: how many centimeters you're dilated

If your waters broke and you're experiencing regular contractions, you are now in labor. The midwife will check how many centimeters you are dilated to see how close you are to delivering the baby.
9. You have been in labor for 3 and a half hours. You are fully dilated, and you want the baby out of you. You push as hard as you can. The midwife proclaims she can see the baby's head. What is this called?

Answer: crowning

Crowning is when the baby's head is visible. Delivery will soon be over after this.
10. You give several hard pushes to get the baby out and soon have your new child safely in your arms. What remains to be delivered?

Answer: placenta

This is called the third stage of labor.
