Labor pains!!!!

I have been havin contractions all day they are getting stronger they just are not getting closer for the most part they are about 6 min apart but then I will have them to where they are 11 or 12 min apart any ideas on how to get things moving instead of staying the same? The contractions are getting stronger just not getting any closer together. And I am really starting to get tired I dont want to be to worn out to deliver my LO.

Walk it usually gets things going regularly if they have already started.

Get some rest

Walk   Good luck!

I don't have any good advice, cause I'm in the same boat. Went into L&D last night cause they were 3 min apart finally, and then they slowed down, but I was only 1 cm so they sent me packing. Never mind the fact that it's been doing this for 3 weeks, and I'm exhausted. Most people say that walking is the only way to get things rolling/make the contractions more productive.

Thanks guys I have been walking when I can I woke up with LO so far head down that it hurt to roll over to get out of bed lol. I really really hope this is it!!!! And we can get things moving cuz this momma is tired!!!

They also say having sex speeds up labor

So I'm curious how was the labor
painful

I had a very painful labor I wanted all natural but I ended up with the epi and a damn good thing I did they had to MAKE room for my LO head it was too late for a c-section and he was under distress so had I not had anything I woulda wished I did. I dont feel any less of a woman or like a failure the whole staff said that they dont know of anyone who was able to go through what I did with out pain meds so that made me feel alot better about it. Hoping next time my LO head is not so big it wont fit they almost thought they where going to have to break bones to get him out but was able to by some miracle not break anything!!!
