It was about a month after I went and visited my boyfriend whom I just started dating in April. I started to feel the feelings of PMS and just chalked it up to my period about to come on.

What would the neighbors say? She was a L.P.N. and knew full well what would happen. I was 3 1/2 months pregnant when she took me to a OB-GYN she had once worked for. I was a naive 16 year old back in 1971 and had NO IDEA …
