How to bring it up? 😴

34 weeks today, induction in 3 weeks and I honestly don’t know how I’m going to get out of bed for work in 10 minutes. 😩 I’m having constant contractions since a car accident on Wednesday but my cervix isn’t changing at all so all they’re doing is exhausting me and are pretty painful. I don’t want to be dramatic but I have an irritable uterus and I feel like she could come any minute with these contractions being as often and regular as they are. I just want to rest and kick my feet up for the next 3 weeks so she at least make it to 37 weeks. I just switched doctors and I’ve only seen my new doctor once. How do I approach this with her? I see her on the 4th for a cervix check to make sure the contractions still haven’t changed my cervix so I at least have to make it until then but how should I address wanting to be out of work? My maternity leave package allows two weeks before baby arrives anyway so with my induction date that would be in about a week. I just don’t know how to approach the topic without sounding foolish and dramatic. But I’m seriously struggling. 😞
