speeding up labor?

Earlier today I was 1cm dialated. I lost my mucous plug yesterday night. I've been getting contractions, not so powerful but they are super uncomfortable. How can I speed up the dialation? Is that even possible? Please help!!! :)

I went for a walk, contractions were about every 8-10 minutes before. As soon as i got back in the driveway my water broke. Contractions got really fast after that. 4 hours later... baby!

I also read on a pregnancy site that sitting up and leaning forward helps speed up dilation
