“The frequency of personal questions grows in direct proportion to your increasing girth. . . .

No matter how much you wish for privacy, your pregnancy is a public event to which everyone feels invited.”
—Jean Marzollo (20th century)

—D.H. (David Herbert)
“I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins,
That almost freezes up the heat of life.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
