Thank you for this great in-depth presentation. I think the mnemonic is a great tool to use as many of these infections are not commonly associated with pregnancy.

This is a sobering look at all that needs to be considered--before a woman gets pregnant. I wish there was more prevention education in high school.

I agree! I heard a fascinating talk by Dr. Michael Lu a few years ago on the maternal life course perspective of informing young people early in life so they could make good choices to prepare for the time they may become parents.
