When the contractions start, try something more vigorous than just walking. Maybe scrubbing the floor or fast-paced squats or lunges. You could also try nipple stimulation . I also suggest that e en if the contractions really start going, do any of these activities as long as you can!!!!! Good luck girl*

Same boat as you. I am 38 + 4 and I have had contractions even 2 min apart ending up in the hospital and being sent home because I can't dialate past a 2. Then they stop and come back. This is my third baby and can't seem to keep the contractions coming hard enough. So frustrating!
