Having had three babies I can tell you that it takes right (for me anyway) about 6-8 hours from 'for sure' labor pains to produce a child. If you go to the hospital too soon- they will send you back home for a few hours. The Doctors want the contractions timed every so many minutes apart and if they aren't - they don't want to see you unless there is an obvious problem. I have whiled away these mild labor hours watching movies, visiting friends, washing dishes, chatting on the phone, cutting flowers from my garden, etc. The name of the game in the early hours is 'distraction from discomfort'... sounds to me like gaming would be just another good way to spend the time and accomplish this.
