  1. 1. a condition in pregnancy characterized by high blood pressure, sometimes with fluid retention and proteinuria
  2. 4. the process of growth and development within the womb from fertilization to delivery
  3. 5. a procedure that uses high-energy sound waves for viewing inside the body, by making echoes that form pictures of the tissues and organs on a computer screen (sonogram)
  4. 7. a fertilized egg, created when sperm meets an egg in one of the fallopian tubes
  5. 8. a hollow structure from which the brain and spinal cord form; defects in its development can result in congenital abnormalities such as spina bifida
  6. 10. the organ that develops/attaches in a woman’s uterus during pregnancy, provides oxygen and nutrients to the growing baby, and removes waste products from baby’s blood
  7. 11. when a fetus dies after the mother's 20th week of pregnancy, when the baby may have died in the uterus weeks or hours before labor
  8. 12. a single cell released from the female reproductive organ (ovaries), which is capable of developing into a new organism when fertilized with a sperm cell
  9. 13. nausea and vomiting during pregnancy; potentially occurring at any time of day and common during the first trimester
  10. 15. the spontaneous loss of a woman's pregnancy before the 20th week that can be both physically and emotionally painful

  4. 6. the process in which a mature egg is released from the ovary
  5. 9. a white, creamy, naturally occurring biofilm covering the skin of a baby during the last trimester of pregnancy
  6. 14. a type of cell that receives and sends message for the body to the brain and back to the body
  7. 16. prenatal test: testing that can identify whether a baby is more or less likely to have certain birth defects, many of which are genetic disorders
  8. 19. the ability of a human fetus to survive outside the uterus
