3 pregnant women were waiting in the doctor's waiting room for an antenatal check-up and were all knitting garments for there respective babies.
Suddnely the first expectant mother stops knitting, checks her watch, pulls a bottle of pills from her handbag and takes one...
- What was that? - the other two ask, curiously.
- Calcium tablet. Good for mommy, good for little baby - she replies, patting her stomach affectionately.
Satisfied, all 3 continue with their knitting...
5 minutes later, the second one stops knitting, checks her watch, takes a bottle of pills from her handbag and takes one..
- What was that? - the other two enquire.
"Vitamin tablet", she replies, "Good for mommy, good for little baby" and she pats her stomach affectionately.
All 3 smile and continue busily with their knitting...
5 minutes later, the last woman stops knitting, checks her watch, takes a bottle of pills from her handbag and takes one..
- What was that? - ask the other two..
"Thalidomide. I can't knit sleeves..."
