The room was full of pregnant women with their partners. The class was in full swing. The instructor was teaching the women how to breathe and was telling the men how

to give the necessary assurance to their partners at this stage of the pregnancy.
She said, “Ladies, remember that exercise is good for you. Walking is especially beneficial. It strengthens the pelvic muscles and will make delivery that much easier. Just make several stops and stay on a soft surface like grass or a path.”
She looked at the men in the room. “And Gentlemen, remember – you’re in this together – it wouldn’t hurt you to go walking with her.”
The room went quiet as the men absorbed this information. Then a man at the back of the room slowly raised his hand.
“Yes?” asked the Instructor.
“I was just wondering if it would be all right if she carries a golf bag while we walk?”

Thanks to Elaine at I Used To be Indecisive for this one.
Oh…that’s funny!
ROFL!! I have to send this one to my father in law — he will love it.
Although it has been many years since I had that belly, I always enjoyed expecting……Such a joy of being a new mommy
I loved being pregnant.
I can see he is going to be the “fun” dad!
Now that was not quite the ending I was expecting.
That man is NOT going to be a good daddy. But they might produce a Rory McIlroy or an Ernie Els.
hahaha. I would have loved to see the expression on his partner’s face!
I remember walking MILES for three solid weeks trying to bring on labor. My daughter was three and a half weeks late and we had a terrible labor and an emergency Caesarean section. Walking is not all it’s cracked up to be. And no, my husband did NOT walk with me. He had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the La Maze classes, too. In the end, we never made it to the delivery room, only to surgery. What a waste.
What a horror story!
Well, women are supposed to be quite good at multi-tasking…
LOL My husband will like this one!
What a thoughtful husband. Weigh-bearing exercise for his lovely wife.
Good one, Tilly.
