<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">pre-birth</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for antenatal that I've seen before include "Prior to birth" , "before new one arrives" , "Preceding birth" , "Pre-birth" , "before the baby's born" .)
