In the late '50s & at least into the middle '60s, when I was in grad school in Durham NC & married to a grad student, women teachers were required to resign when they began to show and needed to wear maternity clothes. My financially struggling teacher friends therefore continued teaching as long as possible - looking like bag ladies in ill-fitting non-maternity clothing.
