Doctor advises pregnant women to walk every day
« on: January 19, 2018, 04:13:03 pm »
The room was full of pregnant women with their husbands.     

The instructor 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 pace yourself, make plenty of stops and try to stay on a soft surface,like grass or a path.”

"Gentlemen, remember -- you're in this together. It wouldn't hurt you to go walking with her. In fact, that shared experience would be good for you both.”

The room suddenly became very quiet as the men absorbed this information.

After a few moments a man at the back of the room slowly raised his hand.

"Yes?" said the Instructor.

"I was just wondering if it would be all right if she carries a golf bag while we walk?"

Hope you don't mind, I copied, pasted and e-mailed this on to friends and family.It has been incredibly cold and most of my friends don't have a nice heated shop with a scrollsaw and access to plenty of patterns to enjoy the winters here in Northern part of Saskatchewan Canada

Norm, I got the joke in an email and posted it here.  I certainly didn't make it up myself.  Glad you decided to forward it.

I have my shop in the basement and yes, my wife agreed to it although she doesn't like it when I run the planner.   :(

One of the couples decided they would walk 5 miles a day.  Two weeks later they called the Dr's office to cancel their appoint for the next day.  "Why do you need to cancel?, they were asked.  "Well, we are 70 miles from home and can't walk back by tomorrow".
