Dear Ann Landers,
lease say a word to the smug, self- satisfied dames who think they deserve a medal because they gain so little weight during pregnancy that they don't even 42 have to buy maternity clothes. How a woman carries the baby depends on the way she's built. A woman can't choose her bone structure any more than she can choose the color of her eyes. With my first baby I gained only eleven pounds, but I was so enormous that our friends were taking bets it would be twins for sure and maybe triplets. My sister-in-law gained twenty-seven pounds, and nobody knew she was pregnant until she was due to go to the hospital. So, please, Ann, tell that obnoxious dame not to be so proud of herself. It's all in the lap of the gods.-Mother Hood.
