Woman: What is it, Rick? Rick: I think Joanie's having her baby! Right now! Woman: Hmm...what's the duration of the contractions? Rick: 60 seconds, every two minutes! The book says that's the first stage of labor! Joanie: Gasp! Woman: Sounds like it. I think the cervix is dilating. Start doing your panting, Joanie! Rick: But it's two weeks early!
