Pregnant women typically had appointments with their health care providers according to the usual antenatal schedule: every month until 24 weeks gestation, every two weeks until 36 weeks gestation, and weekly thereafter until giving birth.
Overall frequency of sample collection varied depending on reproductive period from every third day (mating seasons) to every fifth day (gestation, lactation, birth season), and males were sampled independent of sampling success for other males, yielding a total of 617 samples (10 89 samples per male).
Blood samples were taken before 8 weeks' gestation, every 4 weeks during pregnancy, and at 6 weeks post partum.

In pregnancy complicated by maternal insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, the fetal liver volume accelerates by approximately 20% at every week of gestation when compared with normal controls [ 2].
Third, we reported change in iodine excretion in relation to the gestational week of urine sample collection, but as a result of the study design, samples were clustered around 12, 20, and 35 wk; we have no data before 9 wk or for every week of gestation.
We aimed to determine how ultrasound scanning that is performed at 2- or 4-week intervals (or every 4 weeks before 32 weeks' gestation and every 2 weeks thereafter) may impact the prenatal detection of fetal growth restriction (FGR) and ultimately influence timing of delivery.
In Flanders, Belgium, pertussis vaccination is recommended since 2013 and available free-of-charge in every pregnancy between 24 and 32 weeks of gestation.
