I'm 40 weeks and 4 days,

I went to hospital yesterday and asked for the sweep as I'm really uncomfortable and ive not slept for 3 nights due to bad back and belly cramps and "Braxton hicks " which have gotten painful and I mentioned to the nurse they wer painful but she seemed snotty and all she done was say she couldn't give me the sweep and just stuck the heart monitor on me so I could hear baby's fine as I haven't felt much movement from her last 2 days, I came home lastnight and the "Braxton hicks " what she she claimed Im stil having, have gotten alot worse, and theyr not just every few hours or so, theyr alot more often but irregular stil, but no longer than 40 mins apart max, I'm in agony with it even with my hot water bottle, I've tried walking about while having them as it helps relax me a bit while having them, but I'm wondering if anyone else is certain I'm only having Braxton hicks or if I should ring up and ask for advice or to be checked over cause she never even done that to make sure yesterday and it peed me off a bit, thanks x

I've also been on my birthing ball loads and trying to keep on my feet but I'm so drained of not been able to sleep because of the pain I'm in x
