Laboratory definition of pregnancy based on prenatal testing guidelines. The “index date” is the date of the ABO/Rh and the Rubella tests, or if they occur on separate dates but within 28 days of each other, the earlier of the two. The GBS swab must occur at least 4 months and no greater than 8 months following the index date. Weeks refer to gestational age. Timeline is not to scale.
