sick of hospitals/Update

I came in on Saturday night for consistent contractions.  I've been having the same consistent contractions since then except for yesterday when they were much stronger for a few hours.  At that point, my doctor came in and said that she thought we were going to have a baby.  She was going to come back an hour or two later to check my progress and break my water if I had progressed.  I was having horribly strong labor pains in the front and back labor as well and ended up taking meds.  Unfortunately, I think that slowed down progress because when she came back I hadn't made more progress.  She is reluctant to jumpstart something if my body isn't going to start it on its own.

I still haven't made any more progress but the doctor doesn't want to send me home because she knows I'll go into labor at any second and doesn't particularly know what to tell me to look for now that my contractions are down to 3-5 minutes anyway.  The baby is super super low, so she thinks as soon as it actually starts, it will be speedy.  I'm now instructed to walk around the birthing suites continually in hopes that once I actually start moving they will spike up contractions even more and create the progress in my cervix we're looking for. 

Just wanted to update.  Thanks for your warm fuzzies.  I'm starting to get grumpy.  I wish my baby would decide to stay in or come out, but this in limbo thing is terrible.
