Across 3. a pair of tubes through which female eggs travel from the ovaries to the uterus 4. a single cell released from the female reproductive organ (ovaries), which is capable of developing into a new organism when fertilized with a sperm cell 6. the process in a woman of discharging blood and other materials from the lining of the uterus at intervals of about a month 8. one of the three divisions of three months each during pregnancy, in which different phases of fetal development take place 9. the ability of a human fetus to survive outside the uterus 12. an infection caused by a common bacterium (group B streptococcus); found in women in vagina, usually harmless in adults but potentially dangerous in newborns if assed to baby during delivery; producing symptoms such as fever, trouble feeding, and lethargy 15. a simple sugar that is an important energy source in living organisms and is a component of many carbohydrates 16. a medical procedure whereby an egg is fertilized by sperm in a test tube or elsewhere outside the body 20. doctor of obstetrics who has three additional years of training in helping women through high-risk pregnancies 23. not being able to get pregnant (conceive) after one year (or longer) of unprotected sex 25. the act of giving birth by a woman who bears a child on behalf of another person or couple, typically by artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization 28. the organ that develops/attaches in a woman’s uterus during pregnancy, provides oxygen and nutrients to the growing baby, and removes waste products from baby’s blood 29. fine, soft hair, especially that which covers the body and limbs of a human fetus or newborn 30. test that measures the level of glucose in a pregnant woman’s body requiring her to fast and drink a special sugar mixture and have her blood drawn an hour later; used to determine risk of gestational diabetes 31. the joining of a sperm and egg, also known as fertilization 32. the female reproductive organ in which eggs are produced 33. the period of development inside the womb between conception and birth 34. the action or fact of legally taking another’s child and bringing it up as one’s own,
