when i was preggers with my girl, i put my boss on notice that my last day would be two weeks before my due date. that very night i had minor labor, when i called to alert the ob the next morning, they told me to go to the hospital because, even thought the pains were few and far between, my girl was transverse. they just wanted to check me out. instead of going right in, i took a shower and had a cuppa. when i got to the hospital, they hooked me up to all their doohickies, told me i was in labor and then told me to go home 'cause it was gonna be a while. i called my hubby to let him know not to bother to come to to the hospital but to put off his trip to NJ. good thing he ignored my advice about coming to the hospital 'cause the second, and i mean the very instant, i hung up the phone, my water broke and i was being wheeled into the OR for a stat c-sec. if i hadn't had that cuppa, or the shower, my water woulda broke all over the car...and dang that woulda been hard to clean up. 
there's other instances, i'm sure but i got baby on the brain. |
