Contractions

How long will I have contractions before the baby comes?? I'm 38.5 weeks and I've had contractions on and off for the the last 2 weeks. They are driving me insane. I'm still working and I'm getting on average 8,000 steps on my Fitbit a day.... How can I move this along faster??? He has started putting his head between my pelvis as well and it is pretty painful.

I've had braxton hicks before this, these are way stronger but still not labor contractions. I'm only dilated 1 cm and 30% effaced..... I'm sooooooo looking forward to him coming. I can't wait to hold him and to be comfortable. Lol
