She reported conception after return from deployment and validated pregnancy status with symptoms of increased breast and abdominal size as well as frequent nausea and vomiting. The patient also endorsed fetal movement. She endorsed regular monthly menses but noted that they had gotten lighter since she conceived this pregnancy. Obstetric history was notable for previous termination. Her social history was complicated by childhood sexual trauma and spousal emotional abuse. Physical exam and ultrasound showed a healthy weight woman with a non-distended abdomen and nongravid uterus.
