I wake up with cramps and braxton hicks contractions. I've been getting them a lot for a couple of days now and they got worse last night but it's probably because I'm 9 months pregnant but idk.

I go to the kitchen to get some water until I feel pain on my lower abdomen and back, but not like the cramps I've been having that feel like period cramps but worse.

I rest my hands on the kitchen counter and moan in pain as I rest my hand on my back to try ease the pain. Once it's finally gone away I stand up straight and rub my lower abdomen.

I shrug it off and get a glass of water because I alway get really thirsty at night now that I'm further along in my pregnancy. I go back to my room and get cuddled up with my pregnancy pillow.

I feel another wave of pain across my abdomen so I rub it to make the pain go away. It goes away after a couple of seconds so I try and go back to sleep since I'm still half asleep. Being 9 months pregnant is so tiring tbh. I wince in pain get another wave of the pain.

Wtf is wrong with me?

I remember that I'm 5 days late from my due date and I realised that I'm having contractions. Once the pain is gone, I get out of bed and walk over to mom and dads room.

"Mom," I whisper as I tap her shoulder to wake her up. "Mom, mom." I whisper a little louder until she wakes up.

"You ok, Billie?" Mom whispered as she rubbed her eyes and look up at me. My eyes start to tear up so she sits up, makes me sit down and holds my hand to comfort me.

"I think I'm in labor." I stated as tears started pouring down my face. Moms face goes blank and she wakes dad up.

"Patrick," she said as she nudged his shoulder. "Patrick, Billie thinks she's in labor."

He wakes up and asks what's wrong, as mom was explaining what was wrong, the pain came back but it hurt more. I put my hand on my stomach and whined.

"Why do you think you're in labor?" Mom asked as she rubbed my shoulder.

"I've been getting these cramps for a couple days and I'm having loads of braxton hicks contractions but I didn't think it was anything and it's been happening all night and I can't sleep." I explain as I calm down.

Mom nods and says "yeah I think you're in labor." which made my cry even more. I don't want to be in labor, I'm not ready to have a baby.

"Billie you're going to be ok." Mom said as she rubs my back to calm me down. "We are all here to keep you safe and comfortable, Mary is going to come round and help you. Yes, it will be painful but trust me, the feeling you get when you can finally hold your baby is one like no other. It will all be worth it ok."

I nod and rest my head on her shoulder. Dad gets up and gets me a glass of water. I drink it and mom suggests that I go to sleep but I don't want to sleep alone so I lie down in the middle of them and go to sleep.

For the past few weeks, I've been sleeping with mom and dad more because I first of all, don't like sleeping on my own and I keep having nightmares that im in labor or im in a pool of blood or my baby dies but i just can't sleep on my own anymore.

4: 47am

I keep waking up to contractions so I decide to just stay up since their getting worse. I decided to just get up so I get out of bed and walk to my room. I sit in my bed and go on my phone until I get a contraction but it hurt a lot more than the other ones.
