Mary is now in her third trimester. With the support of your team, her pregnancy has progressed nicely. Christina helped her find a better living situation and she is now renting a room from an older woman, Jennifer, in a town nearby. Jennifer seems very supportive and helpful. Mary has kept her appointments with Mark and usually eats three healthy meals (often prepared by Jennifer). She is keeping her prenatal and mental health appointments.
