The Facts of Life Quiz
Answers to Quiz Questions:
- B. At 9 weeks you could swim a mean backstroke. Your favorite technique was a little backwards walk, leading with your head.
- C. It’s a good thing you slowed down after the second month, or your birthweight would’ve been 14 tons. Let Daddy try bouncing that on his knee!
- B. By 7 weeks all the structures necessary for pain sensation are functioning. You would try your hardest to avoid the source of pain.
- B. About 8 weeks after conception, all systems were go: skeletal, nervous, digestive, circulatory and respiratory. The only job left was to refine what you already had.
- B. At only a couple of months you started to shake, rattle and roll, but you were too little for mom to notice. By 4 or 5 months, however, she swore you had a black belt in karate.
- B. Not only does amniotic fluid make a cushy “water-bed,” but it’s also full of glucose (sugar). Swallowing the fluid was good practice for your digestive system and made for a healthier baby.
- C. About half way through the pregnancy, you had lots of nice skin but not much fat to fill it out. That’s why premature babies look wrinkled – they need more “meat on their bones.” The wax-works effect was caused by the vernix, a thick whitish cream which covered your skin to protect it from the amniotic fluid.
- B. Fetal electric brain waves have been traced as early as the sixth week. What do you suppose you were thinking about?
- A. At conception, each parent contributed approximately 50,000 chemical “instruction sheets” (or genes) that determined not only what you look like, but also your health, talents, tastes, athletic abilities, intelligence, allergies, and more.
- B. 4 months after conception you were pumping 6 ½ gallons of blood each day through a body about as long as your hand is now. And it was your blood, not your mother’s – you never shared her circulatory system. You may even have a completely different blood type!
- B. You were either male or female from the point of conception, but it took about 46 days for parts to be recognizable. Thanks to modern science, parents can now see the sex of their unborn baby with the help of an ultrasound machine by about 4 months. At last, they can answer the age-old question: “What color should I paint the nursery?”
- B. A smoking mom sends nicotine, carbon monoxide, carbonic acid and wood alcohol right down the line to her baby. Smoking 2 packs a day reduces a baby’s birth weight by 10% – which can seriously reduce the infant’s chances of survival.
- C. With modern technology, babies as young as 22 weeks after conception, weighing only 14 oz., have survived premature birth. You would need a lot of medical help, but would fight like a champion to hold on to life.
- B. During your fourth month, you grew to the grand height of 8 inches and began to resemble your parents. At 10 weeks you had a unique trait that may interest the FBI someday – fingerprints. Nobody ever had or will have the same set.
