So I spoke to midwife yesterday. Had contractions since Sunday. She says I'm in the latent stage. This is now day 3. Contractions getting worse at night. However easing during the day. Is there anything I can do to hurry this along? Can't sleep at night as the pains to bad and no real sign of baby. Had a show last night but other than that just these contractions...which are getting steadily worse however don't seem to be going anywhere for me!

Keep walking and rocking on a birthing ball to get the baby's head to come down and start things off. I was in latent stage of labour for 20 hours with my second after my show
. The pain got worse but contractions were irregular, sometimes 5mins sometimes 3mins and sometimes 10mins apart! My midwife broke my waters when I was about 6-7cm dilated and DS was born under an hour later.

If the pain is getting unbearable but still irregular I'd go in to hospital.
