Who had it like this?

Who had it like this? I was in the maternity ward today They set the due date for 40 weeks and 4 days Strong contractions, my belly hurts terribly, my back But there's no opening If I don't give birth by Sunday they will put in artificial ones So I'm scared now Who had it like this? I'm really scared that the cervix isn't opening at all even though the due date is big. What will they put in artificial ones. And honestly now it feels like I'm not giving birth myself...
