It took me over 3 days with both my pregnancys, all you can do is monitor your contractions, if your waters haven't broken your fine, just a waiting game, try get as much rest as you can your gonna need it. Good luck x

hopefully you wont be too far away now, I would suggest keeping upright and as active as possible, this will encourage baby into a good position and also gallow gravity to do its job and hopefully get those contractions working abit better, good luck
