I heard of a woman who was in the early labor at a concert. She thought the strange feeling was just from all the excitement and jumping around. But then the contractions got stronger and she realized she had to leave. She still jokes about how she thought the baby was just 'dancing' along with the music.
In the early labor, a lady was gardening. She felt some twinges but thought it was just from bending over too much. She continued to plant some flowers until the pain became more regular. She then called her husband and said 'I think I might be having the baby, but first I need to water these plants!'
Well, my friend thought she was just having really intense back pain during the early labor. She went about her day doing housework, thinking it would go away. It wasn't until she called her mom who told her it might be labor that she started to believe it.
