Keep your family safe from germs and bacteria
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...
  Giving up smoking and having lots of sex
  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
 
2. When your pregnancy test was positive, you...
  Booked a private appointment with a top obstetric consultant
  Sighed and went to work
  Smiled and felt pleased
  Rushed to tell your partner, and reserved a table at a top restaurant to celebrate
 
3. You buy your first maternity clothes...
  When you see something that flatters the bump in a magazine
  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
 
4. You weigh yourself...
  Every month or so
  Only at the antenatal clinic
  Every time you pass the bathroom
  Never
