Period cramps and back pain laying down 40+3 weeks

Hi all

I am being induced tomorrow due to medical reasons (VBAC and acceleration of growth) I was suggested to be induced at 39 weeks but refused, however they advised not to go over 41 weeks.
I am ready for the induction as I had 2 sweeps last week (1cm dilated and fully effaced) and I've had stop/start labour since then!!!!!
I'm so frustrated, whenever I lay down in bed I am getting period cramps with back ache, as soon as I move they go.

Went for a 3 mile walk today as my last ditch effort before induction tomorrow. I've had Currys every night, sex, nip stim.
Lost some clear /yellow mucus but no proper show.

I'm soooo ready for this to be over but does anyone have any advice for stop/start labour???? My induction should go well, they will probably pop my waters as I'm already dilated (1cm last week so hopefully a little more now) but Id love for me to go tonight naturally😭😂 thanks all xx

Sounds like as soon as they break your waters you'll labour naturally anyway. They only want to do the minimum to get you going, and it doesn't sound like it will take much. Good luck!
