Context: On the way upstairs , the contractions stopped , as did the spring in my step . Once we were checked in , we went to the triage room , which is where the doctor checks you and decides whether to admit you . The nurse gave me a hospital gown and hooked me up to a monitor , where it became clear to everyone that the contractions had slowed down considerably . The resident on call came in , the nurse briefed him on the events of the morning , he checked the printout , then checked my cervix .

Option 1: None of the above choices .
Option 2: Because they were about to give birth .
Option 3: Because they needed to have surgery .
