Almost 5 cm and zero pain/active labor, how?

Question

Am I chilling at home almost 5 cm dilated with zero pain or contractions and yet many women on here have unbearable pain by the time they get to that? And they’re at the hospital by this time? I just don’t understand why my body won’t go into active labor.
I’m soooo jealous ! 😭

My dr calls this the labor lottery.

That happened to me last time, but I had a history of very fast delivery. So the midwife stripped my membranes and I was holding a baby within 4 hours.
