[edit] Cleanup request

For for such an important topic. Perhaps some parts of it should be split into other sections (antenatal care and induction, for example). If not, then the sections need quite a bit of work to flesh them out. violet/riga (t) 22 July 2005

This is a poorly written article. I concur it needs major rewrite and restructuring. Mirasmus 03:35, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Minor Cleaning

Added a few links in the Trimesters section. What does β-hCG mean? I know it has something to do with haemoglobin but a link to exactly what, or some kind of explanation would be helpful.

Also moved the references template from the talk page to the article itself. User:SaintedLegion

It has nothing to do with Hemoglobin (perhaps you're thinking of Hgb-A1C? which is form of hemoglobin measured to assess the long term level of a diabetic's blood sugar status). beta HCG is produced by the placenta and is only found in the blood (and urine) of pregnant women and rarely those with certain types of tumors. I plan on cleaning this article up a bit when I can.

Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin, I think.

[edit] Rhesus D negative

This should never be written "Rh-" = WRONG - MAY LEAD TO MISTAKES
It should be always written in full "Rhesus D negataive" = CORRECT - UNLIKELY TO BE MISREAD OR CHANGED
Similarly "Rhesus D positive" should always be written in full.
Accuracy is important in all aspects of blood grouping.

[edit] obstetrics or obstetricians

obstetrics or obstetricians provide complex pregnancy, labour and birth and post natal care for woman who have complications. Obstetricians deal with the abnormal. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.59.126.27 (talk) 07:31, 5 April 2007 (UTC).
