Help Progressing Contractions/Labor

Brandi

So I'm 39+5 dilated to about 2cm and been having contractions for 3 days that we're 15-20mins apart then 7-10 mins apart and now back to 15-20 mins apart. what can I do to help get them to stay consistent and regulate enough to go to l&d; I'm miserable also lost mucus plug night before last and had spotting and some more bloody mucus yesterday.

My contractions were every 2 minutes apart or so, they never got closer, they just got stronger until I pushed him out lol, so if they get stronger and stronger I’d go in. Also get on hands and knees!

My birth class teacher mentioned a series of positions called the Miles Circuit that can help if baby just needs a slightly better position to get things moving. If you Google it, it's worth trying!
