T.O.B.P: New medical term?

As I rapidly approach my due date, the desire to be over and done with pregnancy is close to overwhelming. I've read all I can read, learned all I can learn--from books, much to learn over the next decade or two-- and am now ready to meet my daughter and start my life as a mother.

At just over 38 weeks, my Dr. told me I could expect to deliver any time, and I took this to mean 'Pack a bag, and get ready!' so I did. Now, almost a week later, after 3 days of minor contractions (Cruelly named 'pre-labor' contractions), and my OBG office telling me that I'm no closer than I was last week, I've started to get a little down.

Apparently, Dr.s now have a name for this. T.O.B.P: Tired of Being Pregnant. They even list it on files of women who request to be induced as the medical justification for the procedure!

I was told that tons of walking will cause contractions, but will NOT bring on labor. My Dr. said it would cause my uterus to become 'irritable'. Is there any other KIND of uterus?
