The Pregnancy/Birth Quiz - Take the Test

The Pregnancy/Birth Quiz - Take the Test

I am on a roll with the pregnancy related theme today, so here goes.

This is a quiz on pregnancy/birth/post-partum terms Don't cheat, haha. Work your way down the list. If you have a pen or paper beside you, write down what you think each word or phrase means, without the help of google or dictionary. Once you're done, scroll down to the bottom of this post, the answers are in the first comment.

For bonus points, test your Partner and see how well he scores. If you get a combined score of 18/20 or above, please post a comment. Actually, I would love to know, so let me know your score, regardless.

Goodluck!
