I’m due in a week and a half, I am miserable. I don’t want to do anything to induce labor, I want the baby to come when the baby wants to come, and it gives me a little more time to get stuff done. I guess, I’m asking for words of encouragement lol. I can barely walk genuinely, I’ve had pelvic pain almost this whole pregnancy and now my pain is 12/10, i can barely do one task a day and it makes me hurt. I can barely roll over, get up, function, etc. I am tired

The baby is getting ready and resting on pelvic, you are nesting to get ready for baby.Relax and wait, go to Dr if pain is this bad…
Check with your doctor. I don’t think you’re supposed to hurt like that Unless your having labor pain.

You might try a belly support band, it could be the weight of baby dropping causing the pain
Sleep and rest up. Once bubs is born ur going to be tired from feeds.
I went 7 days overdue because I too wanted to wait for labor to start in its own. It’s painful for sure. Braxton Hicks will be full swing until baby decides it’s ready but you’ve got this mama. Waiting until baby is ready is hard but worth it! Also remember that all the stuff you want to do but can’t will still be there after baby gets here and you’re feeling better.
Being that miserable isn’t right. Please contact your doctor. I was due July 26…went to the doctor as scheduled. My son finally decided to make entry August 22. My body had absorbed all fluid, dry north Amy son ended up in NICU. Please don’t take chances.
See a chiropractor and rest as much as you can. I know the feeling. I was ready to chop my foot off if it would get them to induce me, I was so miserable. I threw an absolute hissy fit in my Dr’s office because they wouldn’t induce me at 38 weeks (I was high risk). They made me wait until 39 weeks.
Anyway I hope baby comes soon but if you’re that miserable I would consider at least a membrane sweep if your dr will do it to help speed up the process a little.
Hang in there mama. You’re not alone. My last one was about a week late and I was induced. I swear that whole pregnancy was torture 
But… she’s 4 now and it’s all just a memory.
This too shall pass. Just do whatever you can to rest and take it easy. Ask for help from whoever will help!
This is exactly how the end of my pregnancy went with #2. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel, I promise. I couldn’t get myself in or out of bed the last 5 weeks or so of my pregnancy and turning in bed was impossible, had to have help stepping in and out of the shower because my pelvic issues were so bad. Took it a few weeks after having him, but it calmed back down. Just use this time to relax as much as you can. Don’t try and overdo anything and make the pelvic issue worse (trust me, not fun). I didn’t do a thing to hurry my labor, aside from a membrane sweep right at 39 weeks and I went into labor 2 nights before my due date, didn’t even know I was in labor until my water broke mid-dry heave because it was all in my back.
That pelvic problem has a name, I don’t remember it but I know the initials are SPD, generally it’s treated with PT, I don’t know if they will refer you still or not, its worth looking into. I went into labor before my PT called 
and then covid shut everything down right after we got discharged so I never went.
Best of luck to you, mama. You got this
