I've printed the article to take with us to our midwife appointment in, oh, 7 hours (maybe I should be sleeping).

Wouldn't you worry, though... that perhaps you wouldn't take those three contractions seriously and the baby would just drop to the floor or something? Or into the toilet? Or wherever...

I wouldn't mind laboring for a little while- at least to be mentally prepared. I'm hoping not it won't be for too long, though, when the time comes.
