Really long latent phase

Was wondering if anyone else has experienced a really long latent phase of labour? This is DC3, the previous two have been inductions at 39weeks. I'm 37+5 now and have been contracting on and off for a week. It's exhausting. I've been admitted once as my last labour was very fast but nothing came of it so I came home. Contractions were 2mins apart last night for 4 hours, again nothing. I keep being told baby is very low, which I can feel, and I'm about 2cm, have been for a week. I'm due for induction next weekend but can't stand this stop start thing! I've been told that third babies like to do their own thing!

Try to keep things as normal as possible, keep your usual routines, 'waiting' for things to happen, won't help.
Put on a funny film, have a good laugh and keep the oxytocin going 💚
