Feedback:
For the first time in her life, a woman during pregnancy can begin to empathize with the way her mother used to worry. This can make her own mother become more important to her and a new, more equal relationship develops. Thinking about diet, allergies, and the baby's sex are not developmental tasks for the pregnant patient.
