Think about a time when you learned about pregnancy, maybe through a family member, a health class, or your own experience.

What do you remember about how the baby developed and what might have influenced that development?

How might doctors have used prenatal assessments to check on the baby’s health, and what risks, like exposure to harmful substances, might have affected development during the different stages before birth?
