By the sounds of things you're already in early stages of labor, but most hospitals wont keep you until you're around 3 cm dialated. If you can, walk walk walk. They say that's excellent for speeding up labor as the pressure from the baby's head will help dialate your cervix.

Walk as much as you can, or try to have an orgasm. Good Luck

YIKES Sorry but I have to say it may be hard for her to orgasm in between contractions every 4 minutes apart.....................could you imagine? LOL. Anyway, walking is good advice.

Take the advice from the other girls..WAAAALK! I was 40 weeks pregnant, and didnt ever think my little guy was going to come out. My husband and I went to this battleship tour and we walked around for 5 hours.. That night, i was in labor. 8 hours later, i had him <3
