I am 9 months pregnant. I woke up at 5 this morning and have not been able to fall back asleep but am EXTREMELY tired. I'm near tears because I want to sleep but can't. I also can not get into a comfortable position no matter where I go. Could this be a sign that baby will be here today or tonight? I've never had any braxton hicks contractions throughout this entire pregnancy. Oh, my due date is in 2 days. And I think MAYBE something is going on down there because when I went poop (sorry) this morning, it kinda felt like a contraction. But then again I don't know what a contraction feels like, but this kinda hurt

I just really hope that it's time. I'm sick of waiting!

I wouldn't panic until your waters break. Phone your midwife and see what she suggests. She knows you better than a bunch of strangers.

Restlessness is pretty common later in pregnancy, however, I can promise you I couldnt sleep well for a week or so before labor. The only night i did sleep was the one before i went into labor.
I felt like I was getting the flu and PMS all at the same time a few days before labor.
braxton hicks just feel like your stomach is in the middle of a sit up without you actually tell it to do that. It gets tight and tense.
Pains like period cramps are the feeling of your cervix thinning.
Pooping can cause contractions as you are pushing down while doing it.

yeah!!! my first pregnancy i was miserable, for an entire day. no sleep, back hurt, couldnt lay down. didnt wanna walk. it was a few hours later that i realized the back ache would come and go, so i started watching the clock. sure enough it was getting more and more regular. my water never broke, i never had braxton hix.. it just started.... call your doc if u havent already. .............my first pregnancy was with twins and i ended up having a cesarean. so i never knew how to push... the second one however,{now a 2yr old}}}i decided to try a vaginal delivery but be prepared for a cesarean............ well i was pushing wrong, all up fron. how the heck was i supposes to know??? well my sister was with me, and my hubby.... after pushing so long she noticed. got my to focus on her and said."" it will feeel like you are trying to take the biggest sh** in the world...... use THOSE muscles!!!!""""" i started to use those muscles, and boom, there she was a new baby girl.......

OK try and relax and get some sleep, first babies often take their time in arriving and you will need all the rest you can get...maybe worrying about it is keeping yo awake...
you will certainly know when the baby is coming
good luck
