“You see, the aches and pains you’ve been experiencing,” the doctor was looking at Maddie, “could be a sign of early labor and we don’t want that to happen yet.” He sat back and looked at the couple whose brows were both furrowed with worry. “Oh, it’s just a slight chance and really nothing to worry about, but just to be on the safe side I would take a few steps to prevent any chance of going into labor yet. That young lady needs at least another 4 weeks or so until her lungs are fully formed.”
Maddie spoke up first. “What should I do? Or not do?”
Dr. Hill looked at the young couple. “I would refrain from any even moderately heavy lifting.”
David and Maddie were nodding along. “Listen to the doc, babe,” he told her. “No lifting.”
“I heard him, David. I’m not deaf!” Maddie didn’t mean to snap, but she was a bit nervous now. “What else, Doctor?”
“No exercising.” He sounded a little severe now and, knowing that Maddie was a former model and thinking she might be concerned about getting her shape back soon, felt the need to emphasize this point. “And I mean no exercising. Walking and stair climbing are fine, but no squats or jumping jacks – you get my meaning.”
Getting back her shape was the last thing on Maddie's mind now. “Of course, Dr. Hill.” The couple nodded. So far this didn’t sound so bad. No lifting, no exercising – that was fine.
“Oh, and one other thing,” the gynecologist added as if he had almost forgotten the last point. “No orgasms. Orgasms can cause the uterus to contract and put you into labor,” he told them matter-of-factly.
Maddie and David looked comical as both their mouths dropped open at the same time. “What?”
The doctor suppressed a laugh; he remembered how active these two were. “It’s only for a few weeks.”
“Okay okay, doc.” David ruffled his hair. “Anything else?”
Dr. Hill shook his head, trying not to smile at the devastated looks on the couple’s faces. “No, that about sums it up. Any questions?”
Maddie stood up. “No questions,” she replied flatly. “Thank you. So I’ll see you in a few weeks.”
The doctor nodded as he watched David and Maddie leave his office he called out. “If you think of any questions or have any worries don’t hesitate to call!”
