The US has the highest maternal mortality rates of any developed nation by a long shot.

The mothers stress and environment while pregnant affect the baby even into adulthood.

It was interesting to learn about teratogens and how a pregnant persons choices can influence the health of the baby. Learning about protective factors and risk factors was interesting
