A few basic questions

Specialties Ob/Gyn

Published

I am doing a college paper on prenatal care. There are a few questions I have that I was hoping could be answered.

How do you follow the progress of a mother-to-be during her pregnancy?

How do you determine a due date?

What common complications will medical professionals consider regarding their patients?

How do you test for these complications?

What lifestyle recommendations are made to ensure the health of baby and mother during the prenatal period?

What are tetratogens and how do they affect mother and baby?

In the time it took you to find this site, register and figure out how to post a question, you could have googled it.

No, I actually need to ask a nurse. Or an OBGYN.

Look, you have absolutely no way of knowing any of us actually are nurses, even if we say we are.

I am doing a college paper on prenatal care. There are a few questions I have that I was hoping could be answered.

Question: How do you follow the progress of a mother-to-be during her pregnancy?

Answer: Closely

Question: How do you determine a due date?

Answer: Customarily, 9 months after conception

Question: What common complications will medical professionals consider regarding their patients?

Answer: All of the common ones.

Question: How do you test for these complications?

Answer: With the appropriate test, of course.

Question: What lifestyle recommendations are made to ensure the health of baby and mother during the prenatal period?

Answer: Adequate food, water, and rest (Three hots and a cot).

Question: What are tetratogens and how do they affect mother and baby?

Answer: Tetratogens are 4 (tetra) Gaelic poets ("Togens" google it) and mother and baby usually love them, if they're Gaelic.

Never, but never, confuse a Tetratogen with a teratogen, it makes the little Gaelic poets very angry to be associated with something that causes birth defects.

Dear OP - I am very sorry, but I am having a hard time believing you are just supposed to get these answers from someone versus researching them. We have been burned before.

How about you look up the answers and I will confirm whether they are correct or not? As a compromise!

Screw all of you I am legitimately serious about this project. Our job is to interview an actual OBGYN or nurse, NOT to research the answers. I have seen other posts similar to mine where they recieve serious responses so I thought this would help me. Apparently not.

"Screw all of you"

Well that really makes me want to help. Show me the documentation (assignment) and I will give you all the answers.

Also, saying "screw all of you" is really not an effective technique to obtain cooperation. Just saying.........:smokin:

here's a idea. how about going down to the actual hospital or to the county health department and finding some resources? Also, perhaps checking with a OBGYN office?

I find it hard to believe that you need to ask a specfic OBGYN nurse. also, if that is the case, don't you need to put name/info on your paper?
