THEÂ ROOM WAS FULL OF PREGNANT WOMEN WITH THEIR
PARTNERS. THE CLASS WASÂ IN FULL SWING.
THEÂ INSTRUCTOR WAS TEACHING THE WOMEN HOW TO
BREATHE PROPERLY ANDÂ WAS TELLING THE MEN HOW TO
GIVE THE NECESSARY ASSURANCE TO THEIR PARTNERS AT
THIS STAGE OF THEÂ PREGNANCY.
SHEÂ SAID “LADIES, REMEMBER THAT EXERCISE IS GOOD
FOR YOU. WALKING ISÂ ESPECIALLY BENEFICIAL. IT
STRENGTHENS THE PELVIC MUSCLES AND WILLÂ MAKE
DELIVERY THAT MUCH EASIER!” JUST TAKE SEVERAL STOPS
AND STAY ON A SOFT SURFACE LIKE GRASS OR A PATH.
SHEÂ LOOKED AT THE MEN IN THE ROOM, “AND GENTLEMEN,
REMEMBER — YOU’RE IN THIS TOGETHER — IT WOULDN’T
HURT YOU TO GOÂ WALKING WITH HER.”THEÂ ROOM SUDDENLY GOT VERY QUIET AS THE MEN
ABSORBED THISÂ INFORMATION.THENÂ A MAN AT THE BACK OF THE ROOM SLOWLY RAISED
HIS HAND.“YES?” ANSWERED THE TEACHER.
“IÂ WAS JUST WONDERING. IS IT ALL RIGHT IF SHE
CARRIES A GOLF BAGÂ WHILE WE WALK?”
