contractions and induction

So I'm 40+3 and I'm having contractions every 10-15 mins apart they aren't getting stronger but they are painful. I'm 1cm and 50% I've been having these contractions for two days and my doctor won't do anything about it. Does anyone know how I can get my contractions to regulate and get stronger or can you give me something to tell my doctor so he can induce me.

Try a exercise/labor ball when I was induced with my last it really got things going or if your water hasn't broke maybe try sex and maybe try squatting when you walk sorry I can't be more help good luck
