I'm in the same boat due on the 7th so congrats and I completely understand how you feel. I have been trying to find a way to induce myself. It's been frustrating yet interesting. I tried a eggplant recipe from a restaurant supposedly legendary for sending women into labor, guess at 38 weeks my cervix wasn't ripe enough. I walk everyday, tried accupressure, cleaning the house, rasberry tea, and I'm still pregnant. The one thing everyone teels me to do I can't, the father is out of town working. Sex may work, try it. I wish you luck and hope you find something that works for you.

Sex. As long as your bag of waters is intact.
Raspberry tea, castor oil (not sure of how safe!)
Seriously anything that will make you contract (sexual stimulation or orgasm) will help things move along. Also I used to walk up and down our street.

walk alot! or have sex. semen actually starts the uterus contracting. the doctor told me after my second trip to the hospital at 5months to stop having sex. it was sending me into labor!

Walk around that should help, but having sex would help alot more. That or stimulate yourself by rubbing nipples, i know its weird but it works.
