Swiftcurrent Creek Holding me back, gravity's holding me back

Reverie was certain that she must be dying. For hours now, so many she had lost track, she had been plagued by cramps. It felt as if her body had begun a rebellion, displeased with its own leadership and determined to overthrow her. At first she had only grimaced and shifted every so often, silent in her discomfort. By the third hour she had started to pant and pace and whine. Eventually she figured she was driving @Lestan crazy, and excused herself.
As soon as she was alone she began to cry. Reverie stopped to lean heavily against a tree, to rest just for a moment. It was difficult to hold on to any thought over the constant alarm bells sounding in her mind: it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts. How could she be anything but dying when it hurt so very much?
Pregnancy was horrific.
