Answer to Question 1

Rationale 1: Wanting to learn about fetal movement and baby care is expected, as is announcing the pregnancy to family and friends.
Rationale 2: Wanting to learn about fetal movement and baby care is expected, as is announcing the pregnancy to family and friends.
Rationale 3: A newborn requires a great deal of time and care; not anticipating how a baby will change one's life indicates a lack of understanding and knowledge, and presents risk factors for ineffective parenting and postpartum depression.
Rationale 4: Announcing the pregnancy to family and friends is expected.

Answer to Question 2
