Dress Rehearsal PDF Print E-mail
Written by Beth Overton, CPM   

When a woman thinks she is in labor and it turns out that she is not, I've never liked to call it a "false labor." I prefer to call it a "dress reshearsal" instead. Afterall, a dress rehearsal serves a purpose and can be beneficial.


My poor client. She woke up early this morning with regular contractions. Since she lives two hours away and has a history of a very fast birth, we headed on to her house. But it soon became apparent that she wasn't in labor afterall. So we returned home.

I feel so bad for her. No woman likes to get her hopes up and then be disappointed, especially if she is past her due date.

Well, I hope my client gets some much needed rest. She is going to need it for her "opening night." :-) Hopefully, that won't be too much longer.
