Your only 37 weeks it sounds normal. Did the dr tell you that your baby is sunny side up or your just assuming? At this point it’s normal for you to stay 2 for weeks as your not full term yet. My dr won’t even check for dilation until 38-39 weeks. Your having Braxton Hicks contractions which yes can get painful near the end since there’s not much room left. Hang in there.

@dmgraham06, at this point I don’t ever know when to go back to the hospital

That’s how I delivered my daughter. Everything went fine. The labor pains were horribly awful. Like my back was breaking. I don’t remember what it was, but I was given something that made me feel drunk until I was dilated enough for epidural. I was then able to relax a bit. I didn’t know my baby was sunny side up until I was checked when I went into the hospital in labor. I was only 2 centimeters dilated and they normally would have sent me home but kept me because of the extreme pain I was in.
