37 wks - In awful pain 🥺 Help!

UPDATE 2: Saw the nurse today 4/6. I'm now slightly over 3 cm. If baby hasn't come by my next appointment on 4/13, we will prepare to induce the next morning when I'm exactly 39 weeks. Now I'm hoping he waits a few more days because my doctor is out of town!!! 😬 I do NOT want anyone else delivering my baby. This is making me as hysterical as the virus situation. 🤦‍♀️ Please pray my doctor is back in time! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

UPDATE 1: Saw my doctor 4/1. I am almost 3 cm dilated. He wasn't expecting me to dilate so quickly after the last check 2 weeks ago. However, he said based on that, my other symptoms, and baby's position, there's a good chance baby will be here before the weekend is over. 🤞 Also baby weighs ~ 7 lbs 3 oz. 😁

I saw my doctor 3/25 and everything was normal. The week before (34 wks) he had to give me Nifedipine to stop preterm labor. My Braxton Hicks were getting too strong he said and would quickly progress to regular labor. Meds worked.

Well on 3/26 I could tell the BH were coming back because I had the tigh

tness in my abdomen and standing very long made my pelvis uncomfortable. That night at midnight I suddenly started REAL CONTRACTIONS out of the blue. I could tell they were different because they started in my back muscles, ran down my spine, then my abdomen tensed, then my vaginal area would spasm too. However, after timing them for over 2 hours they stopped. 🤷‍♀️ 🤔 So I'm thinking any time now they will start back.

Over the next few days, I have gotten progressively more uncomfortable, cannot stand to sit upright or walk around more than 10 minutes. I've literally stayed in bed. My upper abdomen hurts so bad by my ribs and my whole pelvis is hurting.

Last night on 3/30, my pelvis is hurting so bad I am in tears and can't sleep. At this point, I would rather be having the real contractions so I can get somewhere. This constant aching and pain is zapping my energy. I see my doctor tomorrow 4/1. I can't keep hurting like this and not be in full labor. I will be too exhausted to have my baby. 😩 Has anyone else experienced this?
