Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
During the pregnancy's last months, the woman should rest on her left side for at least 1 hour in the morning and afternoon. This position relieves fetal pressure on the renal veins, helps the kidneys excrete fluid, and increases flow of oxygenated blood to the fetus. There is no proof that a tub bath is harmful to the fetus. If breastfeeding, the woman should bathe as normal, but avoid using soap on the nipples. The woman should also avoid sleeping on her back to avoid supine hypotension syndrome.
