Due date - can’t cope anymore!

Hand hold, wise wisdom, general understanding ear needed pretty please mumnetters!

Due date today, and have spent the past 8 days in permanent agony, whether that’s Braxton hicks (whoever says they don’t hurt - in the nicest way, f*ck you haha!) aching hips, back pain, lack of sleep, pelvic pressure, constant peeing. I just can’t cope.

Last Sunday I was up all night with irregular, painful contractions getting my hopes up - for them to go down to once an hour until last night, where again I had painful contractions between every 10-20 mins for 5 hours, for them to return to every hour again today.
I can feel them getting more painful again and know I just will have no sleep again this evening.

WHAT IS THIS TORTURE?! I have a MW appointment on Tuesday and I’m going to beg for a induction date before I have a breakdown. Had anyone experienced this?!

PS - yes I am feeling super sorry for myself so please be kind because I will crumble xxx
