Help get this baby out

So I went into preterm labor last week and my doctor stopped it because she wanted me to hit 36 weeks and I was 2 days shy, she gave me the steroids for babies lungs and stopped my labor for the day kept me overnight to be sure and sent me home, well since then I have been having contractions again and I’m slowly progressing I went from .5cm dilated to 2 cm and 75 percent effaced in a matter of 3 days she said if I go into labor again she isn’t going to stop it and just let him come but I’m not allowed to work in the mean time and I feel absolutely useless I’ve done everything I feel I needed to do over the past few days before he arrives and i keep getting like fits of contractions that are 5 minutes apart for a few hours and then they die down and go away it’s getting kind of annoying honestly because I’m like okay this is it and I get ready to go pack the car and then they stop any advice from you ladies on how to get it going I’m ready for him to be here already
