So yesterday I spent from 2pm till 11pm having strong 2 min apart contractions and went to our birth center where they kept checking on me etc but the then slowed down first to 3 mins then to 5 and now they're 20 mins not strong but they could kick up again I'm so tired and sore I have managed to sleep but I'm just so upset and frustrated niw I wanna hold my lil man when the midwife was timing my contraction she said I wouldnt be leaving without my baby but I was so upset I wanted to go home has any one else had problems like this they say this could be a long wait the next 36 hours most likely

I had that happen with my third.  Labor would start contractions were a few minutes apart then it would pretty much just stop for like an hour or more.  But since I was progressing my doctor broke my waters after about 20 hours, I was at 5 cm, had her in my arms 20 min later.

Not fun but normal yes. Try sitting on the edge of a seat with your knees open. The toilet also works. My midwife taught me this one. Then kinda roll over your belly, stay for about 30 seconds and then repeat. This can help bring baby down further and cause a stalled or erratic labor to pick up. Hope you are back in hospital soon. (Sorry that sounds mean but I hope you know what I mean)
