The
clinic was full of pregnant women with their husbands.
The Maternity Nurse
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, name unknown,
at the back of the room, slowly raised his hand.
"Yes?" said
the Maternity Nurse.
"I was just wondering if it would be all right, if she carries a golf bag while we walk?"
Brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it?
This level of sensitivity can't be taught.
