Hi ,

I can remember the OB/GYN asking about fathers family medical history

but not to a great extent with my other 3 children. I think it was

like one question or 2 maybe..

Keep your urine in the fridge. If it sits out any bacteria in there

will grow like crazy and make you look like you have a UTI when you

dont.

Congratulations!
