A young wife is in the family way. She was often sick. One moment she was talking in a most lethargic way, the next she was running to the rest room to throw up.
One day she commented how her friends never throw up throughout the nine months. I happened to disagree that it was a good thing, this nauseous feeling: it indicated that the foetus was digging deeper and getting a firmer hold onto the lining of the womb. The one pregnancy I had had no vomiting almost ended in a miscarriage.
The first trimester passed very fast. She is once again healthy and herself. She related to Elizabeth how she was fed up with many people who told her she imagined the whole nauseous business. Others told her she did not eat the right things, or she did the wrong things. I was the only one who could explain to her nature's way of ensuring that this particular pregnancy would result in a lively, lovely baby. Thank God that there is a logical explanation if we look for it.
