Tips get these contractions rolling!

Reposting myself by copy+paste

I'm a STM. Today is 38+2 and i was 2cm/70% and soft on 38+0, but head was still high.

Yesterday, started to have more signs of early labor (super soft bm, lost plug, dull lower back ache the same as back labor pain in first pregnancy), then started to have sporadic contractions for periods of 1-2hrs.

I want to keep these contractions going, but they've slowed/gotten less intense - any suggestions? I'm at work, but doing my best to lean over, do standing hip circles and figure 8s, and deep squat.
