5 days over due/ slow labour

Milly
Hi Ladies, I'm 5 days over due. Had a sweep 5 days ago. Lost mucus plug and had bloody show. Started with contractions 4 days ago which were irregular then were regular at ever 6 mins then back to irregular. The contractions are soooo painful but midwifes wont see me until they are regular at 3 mins apart. Any one else been in this position and if so what did you do to speed labour up?
