	Pregnancy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The medical term for a pregnant woman is "gravida," just as the medical term for the unborn human is an embryo (early weeks) and then "fetus" (until birth).
		A woman who is pregnant for the first time is known as a primigravida or gravida 1: a woman who has never been pregnant is known as a gravida 0; conversely, the terms para 0 and para 1 are used for the number of times a woman has given birth.
		Because of the possible viability of developed fetus, cultural and legal definitions of life often consider a fetus in the third trimester to be a distinct living person.

	HIV Screening of Pregnant Women and Newborns -- Executive Summary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Specifically, the committee's charge was to assess the appropriateness, at this time, of screening pregnant women and newborns for HIV infection, to consider the criteria that should be satisfied when such screening is introduced, and to reflect on possible advances in treatment and HIV diagnostic capability (particularly for neonates) that might necessitate policy modifications.
		Nevertheless, it believes that the benefits of screening pregnant women for HIV infection in high-prevalence areas are sufficient to justify proceeding with program implementation, even though the present health and social services infrastructure may not be completely adequate.
		If HIV screening for pregnant women is to achieve its goals, there must be some assurance that identified women and their children will not be denied access to needed health care by virtue of their infected status.

		Although pregnant mice were immunized with various doses of several different DNA vaccines, we found that immunity but not tolerance was elicited in the fetus (Fig.
