Due on the 18!!

Well I'm due in 12 days! I have an appointment Wednesday (39 week mark) hoping the little man comes soon! I had sons cramp like pains today I'm assuming are Braxton hicks and have had a hell of a time sleeping... Anything I can do to sleep better? What about the pains? Also what things usually happen during a 39 week appointment?

Normally just check your fundal height, and if you've dilated or effaced at all. Theg check baby's heart rate and some offer membrane sweeps if you'd like one
