what does this symbol mean?

On my maternity form next to social factors the midwife put a circle with line down it. What does it mean?

Hi missnat84.

It probably means that there are no "complex" social factors
that warrant extra support, consultations or interventions.
Such factors may include language difficulties for immigrants,
spousal abuse, financial and housing issues, substance dependency, etc.

I sense some anxiety-forgive me and disregard this comment if I'm wrong-
and perhaps you should consider some counselling to help you through
this very important, but perhaps challenging phase of your life.
It will be better for your baby, as well!

Just curious, why did you post here at the A/I Community?
Anyway, I wish you the best with your pregnancy and your upcoming delivery. When are you expecting?

Take good care of yourself and your baby (to come)!
Cheers!
