I started getting some mild contractions after a sweep on sunday, was 2cm, went out for a few walks on monday, contractions got stronger and closer together but went away around 10pm so I got a few hours of sleep. Waters broke at 1:08 am on tuesday morning, and my contractions immediately started strong and fast. I had baby at 0857 same day. Forceps delivery though because her heart rate was inconsistent but I really wanted to avoid a c section so im happy with that
Try straddling the toilet backwards, sitting on the toilet face forward but with your legs up (use a step/ stool to support your feet/ legs), birthing ball with legs open, straddle a chair.
If you get contractions when you walk then I'd say get walking! Add in stairs and curb walking! Good luck!
