Good morning girls, who stimulated labor?

Good morning girls, who stimulated labor? How quickly did you give birth? My acquaintance is giving birth now, they gave her a pill yesterday at night. They said in the morning another one and you'll give birth. But at 3 am she went into water and started contractions. At 9 am she climbs on the wall and says I can't anymore. An epidural isn't being put in yet. The opening is 2 cm and already unbearably painful.
