Sign me up for an epidural!!!

So yesterday at the doctors my membranes were stripped (1 cm and 30%) and then I started having mild contractions about 15 minutes apart starting around 9pm. I managed to get a good nights rest despite the contractions. The contractions have continued/intensified since then and have now been 3-5 minutes apart for 5 hours. I went to OB triage and I was only 1 cm and 70%. I was hoping I'd be further along considering I've been contracting for over 26  hours now. Anyway, I was discharged and was told to wait til the contractions become unbearable. I already thought they were bad haha I don't know how they can possibly get worse! Lol all I know is when I can get an epidural I'll be all for it haha contractions are brutal, I just want to meet my little guy!

Ps baths no longer ease the pain... Help!!
