Contractions for days

Hi all, I am due tomorrow 27/03 with my first baby, I have been getting contraction like pains from Monday night.. they were pretty irregular so I just tried to ignore it, on Tuesday when I woke the started to get closer and closer together until they were 5 minutes apart so I went to the hospital where the midwife said I was 0.5cm dilated and advised that the contractions would need to be closer together for them to keep me there... I came home and the pains subsided eventually, then came back at first irregularly then again 10 minute up to 5 minutes apart... again last night I was able to sleep and only being woken every hour maybe with the pain... I'm wondering if anyone has any advice as I'm getting quiet upset and flustered now as I'm in a lot of pain throughout the days but just feel like nothing is happening and my days are being spent laying on the sofa 🙈 thank you in advance x

Get some clary sage oil it helps with dilation etc naturally just put a bit in a bath x

I've been having the same thing but over a week! Yesterday had 6 hours of contractions, 5 mins apart but they never got worse so I didn't bother calling. Just means things are moving!
