Don't Panic |
[posted by Nat] |
The context: what to do if your water breaks (apparently, unlike what television and movies show, only 10% of women have their water break before labor begins). The way I understand this advice is that you are not to panic if your water breaks and you have no contractions. On the other hand, if your water breaks AND you have contractions, PANIC!
Panic, after all, means "sudden uncontrollable fear or anxiety, often causing wildly unthinking behavior" which is exactly the behavior you want when you are about to have a baby.
Perhaps we are in need of a Hitchhiker's Guide to Pregnancy.

I think you should write The Hitchhiker's Guide to Pregnancy.
It's a thought... Ah, to be as clever as Douglas Adams!
