Pregnancy and Humour: Now there's an oxymoron if I've ever heard one!
Humour is essential. We can't do without it. It is right up there with food, water and air. If we couldn't laugh, even at ourselves, I'd hate to consider the alternative. We may not always feel like laughing at the time but in retrospect, situations can take on humourous proportions and some situations just scream for retelling and sharing. Put a little humour into your parenting and watch the children respond positively and often with some problem solving abilities as a bonus. Also be very prepared to have quips and comments flung right back at you. It's great.

The following are some fun Question & Answers and unfortunately, we don't know the person or persons (Anon. strikes again!) who created these wonderful chuckles. Whomever you ever - Thank you and our hats are off to you! Enjoy.
