Rationale 1: An unlisted telephone number does not indicate psychosocial adjustment.
Rationale 2: Reluctance to tell the partner about the pregnancy might indicate that the patient anticipates disapproval, and is not a normal psychosocial adjustment.
Rationale 3: Parental disapproval of the patient's partner does not indicate psychosocial adjustment.
Rationale 4: Ambivalence toward a pregnancy is a common psychosocial adjustment in early pregnancy.
