Answer to Question 1

B
For underweight women, the normal weight gain is 28 to 40 pounds and for overweight women it is 11 to 20 pounds, with 27.5 pounds as the middle weight gain for normal-weight women.

Answer to Question 2

B
Reduction mammoplasty can interfere with milk supply, because this surgery involves interruptions of the milk ducts. With adequate stimulation from the infant and adequate maternal fluid intake, infant size will not result in an inadequate milk supply.
