Slow labour, active or rest?

[Liwwybettykins]

Hiya, Just looking for some advice

Have been having false starts for the past week, tried to be active through all of them but this set of contractions has been going on now for 24 hours. Irregular, maybe 5 to 20 minutes and only mildly painful. I did some birthing ball earlier today and then had a nap and still no progress.

Should I be back on the ball trying to get things going or will I just exhaust myself more than I already am? Should I just rest and see how things go?
So frustrating!!!

I'd alternate the two. Go for some walks or do some cooking or something, then nap whIle you can. The important thing is to get sleep if you can manage it really, and around that keeping on your feet might encourage things to progress.
