Lol!!!

Holding a baby or knitting would probably stress me out quite a bit actually - but only because I'm a complete novice at both those activities 😊😊😊

My two days with small runner in training...now she is 2 and a half, count as hard workout days.... lifting, walking...run/walk buggy work... up and down stairs for changing nappies etc..... carrying and generally non stop play... I feel brilliant !!! Run days are a rest:)

All the best for the scan :)

I look after my grandchildren. 2 to take to and from school and a 1 year old all day. Tried not to carry her too much today but she’s not walking yet! My main stress will be getting to the appointment for 8.15 having to navigate the M25. 🤞🏻

All the best for your scan.

I’m tempted to challenge them on both counts! Thank you.

Knitting???? I’m confused.

Holding a baby is just good to avoid in general, I’ve read “keep away from children” on lots of leaflets in tablet packets 😂

I think they get you to drink so much for the fun factor... they know they will be running at least an hour late by the time you get there and you have to try to hold it in... I reckon they have a sweepstakes on what time each patient will have to go to the loo.

Hope all goes well.

As an avid knitter this has made my day😂😂😂😂. If I knit on the train tomorrow I wonder if that would count as 40 mins of cardio or strength...

SybilwGraduate10 in reply to BestLife19

As far as I read it - yes! 🤣

I actually find knitting quite relaxing! I do feel sorry for anyone with a baby who needs a scan though 🤪

SybilwGraduate10

Both thing are what you need to do to calm you down the day before a scan I’d say!

Maybe they mean not at the same time?? Knitting while horse riding could be quite tricky😂😂😂

I'd never thought of some strenuous knitting as an option. Would I put it under cardio or strength in my plan, I wonder?....

Hedge your bets - a bit of both! 😂
