As an expectant mother, I've memorized Mutterkuchen (“Mothercake”) for placenta, Gebärmutter (“Gebären” - birth) for uterus, Gebärmutterhals (“Wombneck”) for cervix, because while my doctor uses the Latin-derivates with me (as I requested her to), the Hebammen (midwives) who teach prenatal classes and make home visits to you and your baby the first few weeks out of the hospital really don’t, and I strongly suspect hospital personnel will avoid the “advanced” vocabulary upon hearing me sound like a Texan attempting to speak German.
