Anyone else dilating slow & in pain? 😩

Im currently 36 weeks and 5 days pregnant and when I say this has been the hardest pregnancy for me ever ! Omg ! This is my 5th pregnancy and since the beginning it has been hard. Two weeks ago I found out I was dilated to 1cm and 50% effaced. I was shocked because I was getting the makeena shots every week. But once I found out I was dilating I skipped my last two shots. But these two weeks have been the most painful and longest weeks ever! I have been contracting, having bad cramps and pelvic pain out of this world! My midwife said there isn’t much we can do and they can’t help me with my labor until I’m 39 weeks so I just been miserable everyday. Today I had a doc appointment and now at a 2cm. I’ve been so miserable I told her we can set my induction date for the 17th so I’m definitely ready ! I’m not use to this at all. My other babies I instantly went into labor. This time it’s a different story. I just hope labor isn’t bad! 😩
