Can persons share their experiences with me pleasee

I went to L&D because I started having real contractions in between Braxton hicks, and the Braxton hicks has been coming pretty regularly for the past 2 days. Everything else that’s happening I assume is just normal for being this late (I’m 37+6). The doctor said I’m in the latent phase of labor which could last days.

Now I’m curious can others tell me how long you were in the latent phase before active labor?? What we’re your experiences?? I’m so nervous😩
