9 hours of labour then stopped?

S25323

Anyone else experience this? I was having painful contractions regularly, 2 mins apart for 9 hours then it just stopped. We went the the hospital early on and they said it’s labour and just to wait to dilate a bit more (only 2cm). Now nothing for about 12 hours, just some mucus and tighten of the uterus without pain. So frustrating but don’t know I if it’s normal?
