	In case I gave other people the impression that I think pregnancy
is a picnic, I will clarify myself.  I understand these hormonal changes
and do not attempt to deny them.  All I was trying to do is show that there
are some discomforts that go away for those months of pregnancy.  Anyways,
I had hoped that this wouldn't appear as my main focus, which in the 
conversation with Mr. Montgomery was that when conception occurs, the 
woman's body responds naturally to the pregnancy and provides for nourish-
ment and protection.  I apologize to all women who felt that I was trying
to downplay the discomforts of pregnancy.
