<ref name="msafp-test">Strictly, California does not mandate by law this specific test. But it does say that [https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.xhtml?division=106.&chapter=1.&part=5.&lawCode=HSC&article=4. a genetic testing program must exist] and is the standard of care. I can't find where it says that providers must offer the standard of care, but I'd assume that's covered somewhere</ref>

A one or two max on ten. It comes and goes.

<ref name=eclampsia>
I was curious about why 'pre'-eclampsia. Apparently, that's a condition characterized by high blood pressure and protein in the urine. You really don't want eclampsia to happen because that means the mother has uncontrollable seizures in pregnancy. This can result in the baby being born early and the mother having a stroke and so on. It's bad and avoiding it seems to be a big concern for pregnancy in California.

<ref name=foley-balloon>
Also known as a cervical ripening balloon. In the room, they never referred to it as a Foley anything. A Foley always referred to a  Foley catheter, like the urine catheter one receives after getting the epidural, for instance. 'Ripening' always struck me as strange, but I do prefer descriptive terms over people's names, so I think they made the right choice here. It is referred to as such [https://www.buckshealthcare.nhs.uk/birthchoices/pifs/induction-of-labour-with-cervical-balloon-foleys-catheter elsewhere]. Unfortunately, no time now to find and replace!

 | quote = The rooting reflex begins when the corner of the baby's mouth is stroked or touched. The baby will turn their head and open their mouth to follow and "root" in the direction of the stroking. This helps the baby find the breast or bottle to begin feeding.
