Keep on walking as much as you can, that is the best way to help your cervix to open and for the baby to descend. Think positively is another way as the more you give much concern on your situation, you are getting nervous and this will have some negative impact on the progress of your impending delivery. Another way to emphasize is to sleep at your left sides, this will help to facilitate proper positionong of the baby.
If you got correct calculation then are now at full term and deliver anytime so you can wait for a few days more.
Just to be honest though that there are cases wherein thay baby's head remain floating whatever you will do but you can best judge this once you start your labor as sometimes that baby's head start to fix after the labor started. Take care of getting posmaturity so have a keen observation of your situation, If after a week and still no labor then I suggest you got to see your doctor. Stay calm and goodluck!

Easy walking may help gravity to pull the head down into place. But really there isn't much you can do if the baby hasn't dropped. And as for going for a c-section - I've had two and they aren't that bad. In some ways I had a better time with my two c-sections than I had with the one I had naturaly. But as long as the doctor is sure that there is no stress on the baby or you, just waiting and staying active should do the trick.

That does happen and it is not bad. Do the best for the baby. It could get complicated with natural childbirth if the baby doesn't turn. You are allowed to be a little selfish too, c section spares you hours of excruciating labour pain and the recovery time after might be longer but use it as bonding time with the newborn. Congratulations and good luck!
