Answer to Question 1

C
Black cohosh should not be taken during lactation, in part because it decreases milk supply by changing hormonal levels. Kava kava is not contraindicated during pregnancy. Also, Saint John's wort and Asian ginseng are not contraindicated during pregnancy or lactation.

Answer to Question 2

B
The appropriate timing for chorionic villi sampling is between the 9th and 12th weeks of pregnancy. Nuchal translucency or intravaginal ultrasonography occurs during the 7th week. Midtrimester amniocentesis occurs between the 14th and 16th weeks.
