there are exceptional cases, when the doctor forbids the expectant mother to have teeth extracted; but this is not a rule — only an anomalous circumstance.

Q — Thank you, Doctor; then I shall visit the dentist tomorrow, and without the least hesitation... My next question: I feel a good appetite for food — may I eat as I please?.. My mother-in-law presses me to eat a great deal, saying: "You must eat double what you ate before the pregnancy." Is this scientifically correct? And what is the average increase in an expectant mother's weight?

A — In answer to your question, Mrs. Fakhoury, I say: the expectant mother must make certain that her weight does not increase, over the whole period of pregnancy, by more than ten kilos.

A — Yes, there are emergency cases whose signs the expectant mother must not neglect; rather,
