Ok, so my maternity leave has officially started as I did not make it into work this morning. I had a few more little contractions last night and was up all night worrying (a few little ones this morning too). In the end I decided it wasn’t worth the stress of trying to drive into Lansing by myself. Until yesterday the possibility of going into labor while driving seemed very unlikely and I hadn’t really worried about it. Last night, however, I began to realize that maybe my family (who had been pressuring me about the drive) probably had a legitimate concern.
