Possible Prelabor Question

Yesterday morning around 8pm I went to the doctor and was 2cm dialated with regular contractions 3minutes apart. I'm 37 weeks. I couldn't sleep all last night because of the constant contractions, and today I am having some sharper ones in between the menstrual like 3min ones. My baby is OP so I'm sure that my first stage of labor will be longer, but was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or advice because the contractions aren't letting up and I really don't want to go in and be sent home again because of my cervix?

try walking as much as you possibly can they say that progresses labor and with my 1st child I went to the hospital three times before they finally kept me I wasn't dialated enough either but they finally kept me.. So don't let up on going to the hospital they will eventually keep you. GOOD LUCK

Just to update, the reason that I was contracting was that I was dehydrated. I drink at least 6 liters of water a day and was still dehydrated. After a night in the hospital my contractions have stopped and thank God me and my baby are ok. I would advise anyone to go in if they know that they are having pain, even if they aren't sure exactly if its labor. Things could have turned out alot worse. I did lose my plug though, so within two weeks I should be gtg with the real thing :).
