Which situation indicates a pregnant woman may benefit from additional support?

A pregnant woman awaiting genetic testing results is in a situation that can be particularly anxiety-provoking and stressful. The uncertainty surrounding potential outcomes can weigh heavily on her emotional well-being. In such cases, additional support is beneficial as it can provide her with emotional reassurance, help her process the information, and offer practical advice on what to expect during this waiting period. Support could come from healthcare professionals, counseling services, or support groups that focus on genetic testing and its implications.

The other scenarios may present challenges or require support, but they do not inherently indicate the same level of emotional distress related to awaiting critical medical information. For instance, a woman experiencing her second pregnancy may have more experience and might feel more confident, while a first-time mother, although she may need support, typically does not face the acute anxiety of uncertain genetic outcomes. Similarly, a woman trying to conceal her pregnancy indicates a personal or social challenge that requires support, but it is not directly tied to the medical implications and emotional implications of genetic testing results.
