Which statement indicates that teaching has been effective?
1. "Because I have toxoplasmosis, my baby might be born with an abnormally long body."
2. "The rubella infection I experienced in my second trimester may lead me to become deaf."
3. "My baby may develop a serious blood infection because I have group B strep in my vagina."
4. "My 8-year-old's parvovirus infection won't affect my baby because I am four months along."

Rationale:
1. Toxoplasmosis during pregnancy can cause fetal microcephaly, hydrocephalus, coma, convulsions, or retinochoroiditis.
2. Rubella infection during pregnancy can lead to fetal deafness, congenital heart defects, and developmental delays in the fetus. Maternal deafness is not a risk for perinatal rubella.
3. Group B streptococcus can cause neonatal septicemia or pneumonia unless IV antibiotics are given during labor.
4. Parvovirus effects on the fetus are most severe when the maternal infection occurs prior to the 20th week.
