Prior to birth (9)
I believe the answer is:
antenatal
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">prior to birth</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for antenatal that I've seen before include "Relating to the care of women during pregnancy" , "before baby arrives" , "Prior to birth" , "before new one arrives" , "prior to delivery" .)
