Positive Thoughts Please

I don't post here very often, but I could use some positive thoughts and prayers.
We are expecting LO3 any time now. I am about 38 weeks pregnant. I had cramping on and off throughout the day Monday. My water broke as I went to bed. And since then...nothing. Okay, a few random barely noticeable contractions here and there.
But I am so over this waiting game. I can't go anywhere (my MW wants me to stay at home to avoid germs. totally understandable and fine by me). I am over the constant leaking. And yes, the longer this goes on, the more I worry about infection despite the fact that I will have no vaginal exams.
So all good thoughts about baby coming sooner rather than later would be appreciated!

Re: Positive Thoughts Please
ETA: Do you have anyone to help take care of your LOs? I remember a post here where many woman side that their labors would stall out during the day when they were focused on their other babies but pick up at night. Just a though but maybe knowing that your LOs are taken care of by a family member or friend will help you relax and get things going.
Nipple stimulation is probably next up for tricks to try. I'm going to go for a walk before it gets hotter; hopefully that does the trick!
FX for you that things pick up soon!!
ETA: I agree with nipple stimulation. You can also try pumping if you have a breast pump. And consider bouncing on a yoga ball. The day I went in labor with DS2 I walked a total of 4 miles, bounced on my yoga ball for like 2 hours and had sex. Not sure which of the three or if it was the whole combo that caused labor to start!
