“You’re not having contractions.” He rolls over, goes back to sleep. When she screams that she has to get to the hospital, he decides to humour her. The obstetrician mysteriously waves his hand over her abdomen, pronounces her not in labour. She gives birth shortly thereafter.

Are they still married? Because really, any man who tells a woman she's not in labour when she says she is has got to be a bit of a control freak.
Ha! I experienced a version of that (2-27-06) but fortunately it was just my physician who didn't take me seriously, not my husband.
So good to know others can still be patronizing about what's going on in another's body.
A Welsh dowser with a stick could have done better.
Rough deal. She should try the midwife thing.
