Speaking of pregnancy? A woman in the late 60's early 70's needed to go to the doctors to have her pregnancy test taken. Can anyone fill me in on this method? How long did it take? was it accurate? The woman who is taking this test has been using sleeping pills and has already had a thalidomite baby. She does not ever want it to happen again, but unfortunatly does not yet know the connection between the drugs and the birth defect.
