Lisa, what a brilliant and informative post you sent to us!  I knew a woman
who was a professional singer, whose voice changed with her first
pregnancy.  She was alarmed, but her coach encouraged her to wait and see
what gift would be awarded her in her new vocal chords.

Maturity of voice is one of the gifts of motherhood, her coach assured her.
 She did go on to continue singing, and was quite pleased with the new
richness of her voice.

I don't know if this woman breastfed her baby, but if pregnancy grants such
a gift, just think what breastfeeding can do! Fulfilling our feminine roles
doesn't cripple us, but continues to enrich us and expand our horizons.
(Maybe that "expansion" is sometimes in more ways than we wish.)  :)
