nervous boss and labor)

[Shirl Grant]

Okay, my first was born on a Saturday, but Thursday night I had went
into the nursery to sleep because I was tossing and turning on our
water bed (and I was being nice to the hubby). 5:30 am came on Friday,
I got up to get dressed for work, when I got a pain in my stomach, one
of those tunny-ache thingys that pass. Damn, I thought, I wish this
would stop. I've been having these for 3-4 hours now... yikes. I
timed them, they were 6-10 minutes apart. Istop. logged in from home,
sent mail saying I won't be in "Looks like this is it". It wasn't
until after the baby was born that I heard that they weren't sure if I
meant I was in labor or not.

They stayed 6-10 minutes apart until he was delivered at 1:30pm on
Saturday. They had the nerve to call it false labor. I believe if
labor starts, and doesn't let up until the baby comes, it *can't* be false labor....
