A. I suggest you google this issue or go to a library. However, it has been labor unions that ruined the auto, steel and paper industries in the United States. They have also ruined themselves except for those that are in the service industries like the SWEA union which can't move as they service service industries here in the United States. We lost our auto and steel industries to foreign countries where unions are not allowed and the labor is controlled by their government and their government controlled wage scales (China, India, Japan etc.). They got so greedy that they drove the industries that were supporting them out of this country. This is one reason General Motors and Chrysler failed and our country is in bad shape economically.

How long before labor do you start nesting?
Q. I'm 39 weeks and 4 days so I know labor is just around the corner... I just started nesting, how long before labor does that usually happen?
Asked by J.C. - Wed Aug 22 13:10:30 2007 - - 13 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Well, everyone is different and depends on whether this is your first pregnancy or your second pregnancy, etc. However, the average time from the " nesting stage " to labor is about 2-3 weeks. But, this is not an exact figure. The sudden burst of energy is a sign that you'll soon be experiencing signs and symptoms of labor. Congrats.

How soon can labor start after getting off pre-term labor medicine?
Q. I am 38 weeks. I am getting off my pre-term labor medicine tomorrow. My doctor will induce me on Monday. I was wondering how soon after I get off the medicine can I go into labor. Right now I have to take my medicine every 6 hours and when it gets close to taking my medicine I start having cramps...like bad period cramps. Then, when I take the medicine they go away. So how soon do you think labor could start? Anyone with experience?
