True or False

I went to sleep last night with really strong Braxton-Hicks - quite painful. But I told myself that if they were real contractions, then they would wake me up. I woke up around midnight to pee, 3 am to talk to Abby and 5 am to again talk to Abby and finally at 5:30 convince Abby it was still time to sleep. Then I couldn't get back to sleep so I laid there feeling every twinge in my stomach (some more painful than others) and decided to get up. I had a shower, made the coffee and had some breakfast. The contractions were getting more strong. Soon Mark got up followed shortly by Abby. After Mark went to work, the contractions got worse. Really bad. If I hadn't already had an appointment to see the doctor, I would've gone to the hospital to get checked out. I dropped off Abby at a friend's house and went for my check up. I didn't even have a chance to sit down, that's how fast it was. He did the regular checks and asked me some questions. I told him that the contractions are getting a lot more intense but they still aren't regular. So he told me that it shouldn't be too much longer now (same line he's been using for two weeks now!) And I get to go back on Wednesday. It's a good thing I have such a good friend who is more than willing to look after Abby for me while I do all this. And it's an even better thing that Abby behaves better for other people than she does for me!

So I'm going to take it easy for the rest of the day. The contractions still hurt quite a bit but there's nothing else for me to do but sit around (and walk around) and wait.
