Thanks for posting that, made me smile. Women exert themselves in many different ways pre labor. I wish I had thought to ask the questions when I lived in East Africa but I was a 20 something adventurer and having babies was the LAST thing I was interested in.

What went through my mind though was my 2nd labor...water broke by itself, arrived at the hospital in transition fully dilated, ready to push while we were in the parking garage debating how to get into the hospital. 2 hours from water break to holding baby.
