WASHINGTON (Reuters) -She didn't forget the prenatal vitamins - that was one of the few things this U.S.-trained Afghan pilot could grab from her Kabul airport office before she left the country aboard an Air Force plane during the Taliban takeover.

But after fleeing for her life and that of her unborn child in August, the 29-year-old says she can't even get an ultrasound or visit a hospital.
