Pregnancy Q&A

By

My husband came across this Q & A. I couldn’t find the original source for it and you may have already seen it, but it tickled my funny bone. Since laughter is a good medicine, have a small dose today.

Pregnancy Q&A

Q: Should I have a baby after 35?
A: No, 35 children is enough.

Q: I’m two months pregnant now. When will my baby move?
A. With any luck, right after he finishes college.

Q.What is the most reliable method to determine a baby’s sex?
A. Childbirth.

Q. My wife is five months pregnant and so moody that sometimes she’s borderline irrational.
A. So what’s your question?

Q. My childbirth instructor says it’s not pain I’ll feel during labor, but pressure. Is she right?
A. Yes, in the same way that a tornado might be called an air current.

Q. When is the best time to get an epidural?
A. Right after you find out you’re pregnant.

Q. Is there any reason I have to be in the delivery room while my wife is in labor?
A. Not unless the word “alimony” means anything to you.

Q. Is there anything I should avoid while recovering from childbirth?
A. Yes, pregnancy.

Q. Do I have to have a baby shower?
A. Not if you change the baby’s diaper very quickly.

Q. Our baby was born last week. When will my wife begin to feel and act normal again?
A. When the kids are in college.

I’d love to add to this list. If you have some of your own, please send them to me so I can pass them along.  Email your comments

Humor is very important in anyone’s life especially that of a child. Why? Because it is during those years that so many things are lost such as imagination and the ability to have fun at any moment.

Laugh with the Babies

Just because a baby can’t tell a joke or understand everything around them doesn’t mean they can’t experience humor. They love to laugh.

Spend some time with your baby and laugh with them as you play games with them, help them crawl and walk, and even make funny faces at them. This continues as they grow and develop. Start them young.

All of us know we feel better when we are laughing than when we are angry, sad, or even just dutiful. Scientists, sociologists, psychologists, and comedians study laughter and humor. They have made some fascinating discoveries.
