The Weston A. Price Foundation is currently conducting a pregnancy survey to assess the birth outcomes of women with different dietary and supplementation habits.
The purpose of the survey is to help determine how certain foods and supplements affect the health of pregnant mothers and their newly born infants with the hope that the information gleaned can be shared to help improve the pregnancy and birth experience of future mothers and provide the optimal foundation for their babies to achieve a high level of health.
If you have given birth between May 1, 2010 and May 1, 2012, the Foundation welcomes your participation in the survey.
Please click here to participate.
It is important that a large number of mothers with different dietary habits and different pregnancy outcomes be included in the survey.
Whether a Mother perceives her dietary habits as conventional or unusual, and whether she considers her pregnancy to have been eventful or uneventful, her participation is welcomed.
The survey should take less than twenty minutes to complete.
The information mothers provide in the survey will be summarized into statistics that the Foundation may eventually publish, but no individual or personal information provided will be shared with anyone publicly or privately.
The survey will be completed on September 30, 2012.
Please share this pregnancy survey with as many mothers as you can. Breastfeeding, homeschooling, homebirthing and other forums where mothers participate would be ideal places to send the link about this survey so that the widest participation possible is obtained.
Thank you for your help in getting the word out about this important pregnancy survey!

Hi Sarah,
I’m trying to enter the pregnancy survey. This may be a silly question but after I filled out the survey some errors came up saying I needed to provide positive numbers for a few of my answers (example – how many hours were you in labor? answer – 9 hours 40 minutes) I don’t see the problem and not sure how to fix it.
Thanks =)

I think this means just provide a round number. Round up 9 hours 40 minutes to 10 hours for example. I’ve sent an email to the Foundation to ask, but I’m pretty sure that’s what this message means.
Amie
Okay so that worked, but should I be putting a 10 for apgar test when he was 9 and 10lbs for weight when he was 9?
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
No just put 9 for the apgar and 9 for the weight as well. The survey is just seeking whole numbers not number ranges or decimals.
Amie
Ok thanks! It worked =)
Michele
I wonder if the survey is seeing that “-” in front of “9 hours” and thinking you entered a negative number “-9”. Even though you have a space between the two, it may still be interpreting it that way. Computers aren’t as smart as we give them credit for, LOL.
Amie
I was just stating that it was 9 hours I didn’t actually put a “-” in front of it. I wouldn’t doubt the computer interpreting it that way though if I had done that! =)
