Stunning called the other day saying she didn’t feel quite right.  This is normal though right now as she has entered into the “uncomfortable” stage of pregnancy.  She’s uncomfortable sitting, standing, sleeping, laying, walking, running, looking, thinking, waiting, riding, driving, and just about anything else… she’s uncomfortable. 

However, on this day, she called to say she felt so uncomfortable she’s calling the nurse’s line at her doctor’s office.  She left a message and over two hours later, the nurse called back.  After explaining the extreme pressure she was feeling, the nurse said to come in and they needed to check to make sure she wasn’t in false labor (or something like that).

False labor?  I don’t know what that means, but anything with false isn’t necessarily a good thing.  Honestly, from what I understand, false labor = braxton hicks contractions = not a bad thing.  Anyway, the nurse seemed concerned enough about something for us to come in. 

Needless to say, when the nurse seems concerned and insists you come in to be checked out, it makes one a bit nervous.

We arrive at the clinic and tell the nurse there exactly the same thing my wife told the nurse on the phone.  The nurse here states, “Oh. That’s nothing to be concerned about.  That’s normal in pregnancy.”

Oh.  Well, thanks Nurse Line Nurse for not calling for two hours, then when you do call to get us into a semi-concerned panic, make us both leave work early, and then arrive to find out that everything is normal. 

Such are the pains of pregnancy though.
