Labor soon?

Kayla
Dilated 1 1/2. Doc said she could feel a head 😱😱 and basically could be today or maybe tomorrow. It hurt so bad when she checked me. Like reaaaalllllly bad. And baby was probably wondering who touched him he was squirming after..And doc said to "take it easy" buuuut I have things to get ready just in case.. 
Any suggestions to help encourage the contractions? I was contracting since 6 am but they've subsided so I took a nap. 
Really want to get things on a roll. FTM. 39 weeks due SaturdayÂ
