Today I thought we might have a little fun testing our knowledge of abbreviations that apply to the childbearing year.  We may hear these terms during our clients’ pregnancy, birth or postpartum period.  We may even use some of these abbreviations when we take notes at a prenatal or postpartum meeting or during a birth.  These are pretty common terms and I suspect that most of them are familiar to you.  It will be fun to take the challenge.  Nothing ventured, nothing gained.  And a bonus for you!  Just for giving our quiz a try, you will be entered in a drawing for a $25.00 gift certificate to the DONA International Boutique, where you can buy yourself some DONA swag.

Keep this in mind- you must use all lower case letters in order for the answer to be marked correct.  Do NOT add any hyphens either.  Words like labor are spelled using American English.  Take the test, enter your name and email and be entered to win a $25 credit in the Boutique. Let us know how you did in the comments section.  Good luck!
