Answer
Brandon,                                                     Unfortunately they can't call you to the hospital when the contractions start. You are just going to have to watch them closely and hope you catch it. Nature will take its course wether you are watching or not sweety. Don't stress. Put some extra hiding places in there at the bottom since that is where they sink to after they are born. Like a cave with very small holes or leafy plants. You are going to have to let nature take its course. It sounds like you have lots of other little responsibilities already. Good Luck kiddo, Tina....
