A continuation of the previous poll:

Braxton Hicks contractions fool plenty of women into thinking that they’re in labor but they’re not.

Have you ever met a woman who thought the reverse: that she wasn’t in labor so she was slow to go to the hospital but actually had been in labor for a while before figuring out it wasn’t a false alarm or a backache?

• I’ve known at least one woman in that situation
• I’ve been that woman
• Not that I’ve heard
