The title of the site is "Parenting". Is this limited to child interaction? Are questions regarding the pregnancy period relevant (Aside from serious medical questions, of course). Example questions off the top of my head (fleshed out in reality) might be:
While they aren't "parenting" directly, it is the first stage of being a parent. Thoughts?
Pregnancy questions should be included. It may be a matter of semantics, but it is probably healthy to start parenting prior to childbirth.
My gut reaction is that "how can I best alleviate swollen ankles during pregnancy" is off-topic (because it's not really related to raising children), but "I drank alcohol before I found out I was pregnant, how likely is my child to suffer FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome) and what can I do now to mitigate the risk or prepare for the possibility" is on-topic because it involves the welfare and raising of a child.
Logically, I know that that's a really fidgety place to try to draw the line, so I'd opt for blanket exclusion or inclusion of pregnancy questions with equal satisfaction -- either one has merits, and both are cleaner, easier-to-enforce standards than the natural (to me) one.
