Did she ever have her pregnancy confirmed? When I have had my pregnancies confirmed, that is when I get told to take folate, not to drink or smoke (not that I do anyway) and I get my BP and everything else checked. I am suprised that she was so uneducated on pregnancy care. Fair enough not knowing about folate, but it has been a known fact for a very long time that drinking isn't good for your baby. I remember knowing that when I was a child.
I hope from now on, the woman you work with reads up on her pregnancy and asks alot of questions at all her appts.
Her Dr should have told her all this when she got the pregnancy confirmed.
I would have thought she had seen the Dr to get a midwife appt at the hospital. I didn't think you could just call them up and make your own appt without the Dr writing to them first to book you in.
