Followup to the "pre-pregnant" brouhaha

[annathepiper]

Since I had posted before about the kerfuffle involving the federal guidelines being reported as advising treating all women as "pre-pregnant", it behooves me to also mention some more information on this, kindly conveyed to me by agrumer. To wit:

The CDC guidelines in question, sez Avram, talk about the use of the term "prepregnant" to refer to women who are planning to become pregnant in the next few months. The lesson herein being, reviewing all data is a good thing.

He also recommends CDC's Preconception Care FAQ, and items #6 and #7 specifically.

Yeah, that changes things just a wee bit. :-)

Yeah. In the interests of fairness and sharing all appropriate information, I felt I should post the followup!
