The ante natal clinic at St Mary's Hospital, Trafford, Manchester,
England, was full of pregnant women accompanied by their partners and the
class was in full swing.
Mrs Sally Mackintosh, Midwife, was teaching the women how to breathe
properly and was telling the men how to give the necessary assurance to
their partners at this stage of the pregnancy.
She lectured, 'Ladies, remember that exercise is good for you. Walking is
especially beneficial. It strengthens the pelvic muscles and will make
delivery that much easier.'
Sally gazed around slowly and studied 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 became very quiet as the men absorbed this information. Then
Graham, a prospective Dad, at the back of the room, slowly and nervously
raised his hand.
'Yes?' enquired Sally.
'I was just wondering,' stumbled Graham, ' Would it be all right if she
carries a golf bag while we walk?'
