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.
