Are you prepared for pregnancy?
by Josa Young
Good antenatal care is vital, and - like most women - you will want to keep yourself informed about the changes your body will undergo before giving birth. However, enjoying your shape and understanding the stages of pregnancy is one thing - studying obstetrics and midwifery from a technical perspective is another. How can you tell if you're in denial, worrying unduly or simply being sensible? Take our light-hearted quiz to find out.

1. You prepared for pregnancy by...
  Getting yourself tested for rubella immunity, taking folic acid and losing a bit of weight
  Going on a year-long course of health improvement for you and your partner, sending off a hair sample for nutrient analysis and following the recommended diet to the letter
  Cursing the split condom
  Giving up smoking and having lots of sex
 
2. When your pregnancy test was positive, you...
  Smiled and felt pleased
  Rushed to tell your partner, and reserved a table at a top restaurant to celebrate
  Booked a private appointment with a top obstetric consultant
  Sighed and went to work
 
3. You buy your first maternity clothes...
  Within half an hour of getting a positive pregnancy test result
  Never - men's jumpers, elastic and safety pins are just fine, thanks
  When positively nothing in your wardrobe fits any more
  When you see something that flatters the bump in a magazine
 
4. You weigh yourself...
  Only at the antenatal clinic
  Every time you pass the bathroom
  Never
  Every month or so
