39 weeks sunday

So i’ve been having contractions since i woke up at 10 and I was able to do normal things get my son ready for the day. They did start to become stronger and closer but now they slowed down and aren’t as strong . i started pumping to see if nipple stimulation would help bring them back but no . Anyone have any tips on making contractions closer and consistent? This is my second child and i’m beyond miserable
