I am having the longest labor ever. I started contractions Thursday night. They are close together but usually not very intense. Last night they started getting really intense and we were getting ready to go to the hospital when they suddenly totally eased up. My dr saw me today and said she had expected to hear from me over the weekend. Even though I'm having constant contractions, I'm STILL only a fingertip dilated, not effaced but my apparently really long cervix is getting soft, and the baby is sloooowwllly moving down but is not yet engaged.

So I need some ideas for getting things moving!

Sex, spicy food, pineapple, circles on the exercise ball...what else? I don't want to break my water - I just want this kid to come on down and my cervix to be a little more active in the effacement and dilation department.
