Speeding up labor

posted 1st Dec
So my water broke 12 hours ago and my OB said if I wasn't making much progress by the morning that I should consider Picotin. I'd really rather not and I'm hoping to speed things up on my own instead.
Any solutions? I've been walking and bouncing on the birthing ball on and off all day. I've no idea how dilated I am at all since they haven't checked in 10 hours or so.

You and your SO or whoever is there with you can try this since you are already in labor:
