Can I give up being pregnant for Lent?

Hi.  I'm here.  39 weeks, 1 day pregnant. 4 cm dilated.  The doctor predicted just moments ago that my water will break in the next few days (she could feel a bulging balloon of water, sorry for the TMI?).  She stripped my membranes (more TMI?).  I've been having sporadic contractions since Saturday.  I can't move without a grimace, and have spent most of my time on the couch.  I'm at Chick Fil-A getting lunch, and that's all I have to say about that.
