Drink ice cold water to make your little one more active, anything to make him active and move around will help!!

Go have sex, and do all the stuff that enduce cuz u might just need that little push to start dialating. Semen may make u dialate faster.

I am wondering the same thing. If your contractions are that close they should keep you no matter what you are dilated to.

Are the 5 min apart from the start of one contraction to the start of the next? That's how my doc told me to time it? Y wouldn't they take u in if they are 5 min apart?
