Due July 17th

So I'm due July 17th but I'm really hoping it happens before a lot of Braxton hicks especially lastnight from 2am-8am nothing close just horrible pain didn't go to the hospital but tonight if it happens again I will be going. I'm already dilated 2 1/2cm from my last appt Friday ... I don't want to go in and have them say it's to late start pushing 😳 that will make me scared only because it's my first birth and I plan on using epidural. Sleepless night,uncomfortable,swelling & sweet tooth I'm over you lol
