Pregnancy is not a disease. The child in the womb is neither a tumor nor a parasite to be destroyed.
I was studious and bookish. Not just as a child but also as a teenager. I took myself too seriously.
It takes a caring community to raise a child that will be a whole person and a contributing citizen.
What we want is to see the child in pursuit of knowledge, and not knowledge in pursuit of the child.
I think that what scares me more than getting fat during pregnancy is the responsibility of a child.
