Spinoff to my TMI post - boy what a day! Even MORE TMI...
So I decided to call my dr. and ask how I would know if I were leaking fluid. The nurse practitioner told me to come over ASAP.
She checks me and doesn't see much - but she used the PH paper and it changed color, so she decided to page my dr. who was at the hospital to see if I should go in for a sono...
so I go to the hospital, get sent to L&D - get put in a birthing room - I'm all by myself and ready to cry - thinking - oh SH IT what if I give birth today? I'm in the room with the little bed thingy for the baby... I'm like - oh no, I'm so not ready...
They strap me to a fetal monitor for an eternity... I start making phone calls to work, and figured I'd give my stepmom a call. She lives nearby so she said she'd come over...
She comes in when the dr. is doing my sono, then stays in the room while I get my pelvic exam...
My dr. tells me I am not leaking anything, and then calls the nurse over to show her whats going on down there  She takes out the silver thingy that they use for pelvic exams to show me and my stepmom the discharge!!! 
so that was my day. Thank GOD I didnt go into labor today!!!!

meanwhile, while in active labor, i was in complete denial!
just goes to show, when they say "oh, you'll know when you are in labor" they are being quite insensitive!
there are a few things that come naturally...wanting to "push" being one of them, the rest we really might need help with!
This was a truly funny story...you know, while reading it I'm like...OMG....is she in labor?!?!?! duh, she's posting about it.

Yeah - in the beginning, I began to think - ok, DH is all the way in the city. If I am in labor, he has to take the train to huntington, drive all the way to Northport, get my stuff, pack the bag... I wont see him for hours!!!!

I was worried about the same but DH works near where we live and I'm delivering a lot closer to the city. In good traffic it takes at least 45 minutes.
I feel so relieved that I now know the exact date (the latest) I'll be induced next week. The back and forth to the hospital during my stay is still going to eat up a lot of time for DH.
