This is a new data type designed to store pregnancy related information. The Pregnancy data type supplements (and would be related to) existing data types like appointments, conditions and medications to help with scenarios that a consumer might find in a pregnancy diary or when talking with a doctor about past pregnancies.
The structure we created includes a top level Pregnancy type which in turn contains Delivery and Resolution sub types. One thing you will notice is that there are no required elements in this data type. This is so the consumer can use the type to build up a record of the pregnancy over time.
