I have 3 sons. All were post term. 44 weeks with the first almost lost him and myself at age 17. (Did not know he was 44 weeks, doctor thought 42 weeks and began to induce..I went into labor on my own)
42 1/2 weeks and was a easier delivery and shorter labor.
42 weeks was even easier labor had a ep.
Believe me I tried everything that I read or people had told me.
I walked..I ran...I rode in the back of a van...The back of the Metro bus...I had sex without a orgasm...I took long baths...I tried yoga...Mexican food...I drank two glasses of water fast and went walking.and so on....
Now with my third I had a orgasm because my doctor said it would help and told me to go buy a vibrator. Blushing I left the office. But I did go into labor the next day after the orgasm.
So after telling 5 other women to have a orgasm they all five went into labor within a week of it. ( and nipple stimulation)
So that is my recommendation. And if it does not work for you at least it was pleasant trying.

Although some nurses will tell you to walk, have sex etc. there is really no proven way to induce labor on your own. The baby will come when the baby is ready. Nipple stimulation can get things moving along if your body is already ready.
Good luck and congrats!

Go walking!
Baby will come when he's ready, but walking (even if it's a mind thing) helps to relax you and I've heard the physical activity of it gets things moving.
I went walking with my mom on the 17th (NAPA wine tasting - I was the designated driver) and on the 18th all day. I went from 0 centimeters dialated on the 16th when my mucus plug started leaking to 7 cm by the time I made it to the hospital on the 18th.

having sex is a way to induce labor but be careful of getting a yeast infection. Its the semen that makes labor start, but the semen can cause yeast and yeast is transported through the babies mouth when its delivered. So be careful.
Just walk a lot, it will help with starting labor and assist with stretching when the baby comes out making it less painful.

Please what ever you do dont use castor oil!!!!!! It is so dangerous!!!! Castor oil will not only give you the sh**s but your baby also. What ever you injest passes through to your baby and if you baby starts to pass meconium while you in labour your in trouble. Just let nature take its course it will all be over before you know it and a few months after you will be asking where the tme went.

Some people say that sex can but to be honest I am not really sure. I do wish you luck though.

Playing with your nipples supposedly works. Seriously. You or your partner can do it. Although it didn't work for me, it was kind of fun.

I've also heard that acupressure massage in the ankles works.
