...probably the usual set up for pap smears, STDs, sexual histories, safe sex practices, domestic histories.
...then there will be the teaching for nutrition during pregnancy, sexual positions to accomodate growing uterus, unusual pain and/or bleeding, signs of PIH, etc.
If you still have your OB text that will surely help. One of the biggies in OB is the family dyanamics (sp), as marital status, custody, keeping baby or adoption, safety issues, WIC, etc. But it is very rewarding. Let us know how the interview goes.
