Girls haven't given birth yet!?

Girls haven't given birth yet! ? It's nice that the water receded slightly at night, and since then it has been receding slightly. They said today to wait for contractions, but the contractions disappeared, or rather their regularity, and I feel some pain. They said they would stimulate with an IV drip/injection in the morning. Has anyone had this? How long did they give birth? What advice and recommendations do you have for first-time mothers? ?
