How to get contractions started?

[mersedes_jj]

I'm dilated to 4cm and 70% effaced and am so uncomfortable but I'm not having any contractions. What helps start contractions? I've tried walking and lots of sex.

Walking worked for me perfectly. I walked around the mall back to back from store to store I was only 1 cm after all of that walking later now that night I went in to the hospital at 8cm  so I was all already there.

Walking and acupuncture worked great for me.

Stairs and squats don't tire yourself out too much
