Yes, all these kinds of women can and do show up needing medical care or treatment for something or another, whether it is routine annual pap or illness or injury. ANd yes, what part of the cycle they are currently in can affect things as can whether or not they are preg. And yes, any fetus can be affected by whatever a mothers body is subjected to or exposed to.
AND
it also can make a difference the age of the fetus if someone IS found to be preg........becuz different things affect different age fetuses differently. DIfferent parts of a fetus develop at certain times and what might harm a 3 week fetus might not harm a 8 month fetus. etc. SOme things can be safely going on at 1 week gestation that might be dangerous at 9 months. It just depends, so it is important. It is all important. ANd best not left to chance.
