I own an independent sales company in the garment industry. One of the lines I represent is owned and manufactured in India. The owners hired me sight unseen so they were unaware I was 5 months pregnant at the time. I instinctively knew it would be fatal if I revealed my state as they were not accustomed to working with women much less one who was in charge of their most profitable territory. After 4 ½ months my company had more than doubled their sales and I had given birth to a healthy baby boy. The owners phoned to set up a meeting with me to plan next year’s production. At the meeting, all went well, we shook hands and I was happy the whole pregnancy thing hadn’t come up. I was entering the elevator with the two men when a friend gasped and pointed at my chest. There I stood with 2 very large milk soaked breast spots on the front of my dress. I can only imagine what the five men talked about on their return flight to India.
