So yeah, that would not be faking it! </p> <p>Like you guys said, I'm not a good enough actress anyway. Plus it would be like, Oh... wait, the contractions stopped. Thanks, officer, we'll just be on our way at the speed limit now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-fake-labor-to-get-out-of-something#post-880096 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 13:45:58 +0000 Dandelion 880096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: that's awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-fake-labor-to-get-out-of-something#post-880074 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 13:41:40 +0000 anonysquire 880074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: Hahaha 13 months after we first started TTC and I still make my husband empty our litter box in case I am pregnant so I don't get toxoplasmosis! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-fake-labor-to-get-out-of-something#post-880071 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 13:40:49 +0000 MamaMoose 880071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't fake labor because I agree they would want to escort you to the hospital. I would probably just apologize and say "I'm so sorry I just have to pee sooooooo badly because I'm so pregnant!!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-fake-labor-to-get-out-of-something#post-880068 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 13:40:06 +0000 heffalump 880068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I don't like to be the little girl who cried wolf. People always think I'm faking migraines to get out of things and it's so annoying, so I would never actually do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-fake-labor-to-get-out-of-something#post-880064 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 13:39:23 +0000 mrsjyw 880064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I'm way too paranoid to mess with it, karma's a beeeeeeeeyotch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-fake-labor-to-get-out-of-something#post-880062 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 13:38:32 +0000 anonysquire 880062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I have no shame lol! And I have never ever been let off with a warning when I have gotten pulled over so I deserve a break! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-fake-labor-to-get-out-of-something#post-880053 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 13:35:34 +0000 Dandelion 880053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha...I don't know if I could! I'm sure I've thought about it, though. I've definitely used being pregnant/postpartum as an excuse for many things, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-fake-labor-to-get-out-of-something#post-879963 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 13:09:50 +0000 Modern Daisy 879963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I've told work that I had a Dr.'s appt before when I was really cutting out early to get my hair done :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-fake-labor-to-get-out-of-something#post-879960 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 13:08:41 +0000 2PeasinaPod 879960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my friends did this! They actually got pulled over on the way to the hospital for their induction. So, they didn't lie when they said they were on their way to have a baby, but they weren't actively in labor. They did get out of the ticket though!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-fake-labor-to-get-out-of-something#post-879958 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 13:07:28 +0000 MrsLilybugg 879958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha ha!! The thought totally occurred to me last weekend as I drove my mom somewhere. THen I had a visual of the policeman escorting me to a hospital, and me having to pay for the "contraction monitor" check-up, ER visit, or whatever. LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-fake-labor-to-get-out-of-something#post-879952 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 13:06:28 +0000 Alivoo01 879952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL! Nope because I can't act, and like you, I would think the cop would want to escort us to the hospital. Then what?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-fake-labor-to-get-out-of-something#post-879948 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 13:05:16 +0000 Pepper 879948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha I don't think I would! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-fake-labor-to-get-out-of-something#post-879944 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 13:04:27 +0000 MsLipGloss 879944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Hahaha :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-fake-labor-to-get-out-of-something#post-879943 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 13:04:10 +0000 lovehoneybee 879943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but DH totally got pulled over and ticketed (for turning right on red when not allowed) when I was 39w, and I totally thought about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-fake-labor-to-get-out-of-something#post-879939 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 13:03:25 +0000 chopsuey 879939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha. I'm a terrible actress so I doubt I'd be able to pull it off. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-fake-labor-to-get-out-of-something#post-879908 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 12:53:47 +0000 Foodnerd81 879908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As we were driving on the highway this weekend, DH joked that if we got pulled over for speeding, I had to fake labor to get out of a speeding ticket. I thought it was funny, but wouldn't actually do it-- 1) bad karma, and 2) wouldn't they then want to escort us to the hospital? That would take longer and be more expensive than a speeding ticket! </p> <p>What about you? Would you fake labor to get out of something? </p>
