My labour stopped and started over 36 hours. My midwife examined me 3 times in that period and I had only gone 3cm. She asked me if I want my waters broken to see if that would jump start things so to speak. From waters broken at 0915, DD born at 1440 the same day. It was a good easy labour (hurt a heck though). I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

But yeah, it sounds like you're on your way to active labour. Good luck and rest and soothe yourself as much as possible. Eat normally so you're not hungry during labour or sick. Well done and don't worry. I went in twice with contractions at 5 minutes apart but labour kept stopping. Doesn't mean that will happen to you though. Ring the hospital and the midwives there will advise you when to go in. Good luck sweetie, its nearly over and soon you'll be cradling your precious baby.
