Keep in mind that the "average" pregnancy lasts 41 weeks and one day. Also keep in mind that babies who were exposed to more medicines during the mother's pregnancy are more likely to be a little bit later (as if they took the "day off" from growing that day!). The baby won't come until he is in the right position, so keep using gravity to help him complete his preparations.
Good luck!

Drink orange juice.
While drinking castor oil is safe in SMALL amounts, drinking any more than you already have can be unsafe. Just have some patience...you're only a day overdue. And that due date is just an estimate...your baby will come when he's good and ready, or the doctors will intervene. That is the only safe way to do it.

Having sex or walking is actually probably the best ways to induce labor, caster oil usually just acts as a laxative,and can make you miserable, spicy food, that is something you do NOT want to try,because you do not want a full stomach during labor.
If all else fails "relax" as much as you can,sleep,and he will come.

My sister took a little bit of Castor Oil, Chinese food for dinner, and a few hours later she was in labor with my nephew!

SERIOUSLY, WHY WOULD YOU PUT YOUR CHILD AT RISK SO THAT "THE DOCTOR DOESN'T INDUCE YOU"? AT LEAST YOU ARE MONITORED BY PROFESSIONALS IN THE HOSPITAL WHILE THEY DO THESE PROCEDURES.
HONEY, I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE FEELING LIKE RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE I HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN THERE. YOU ARE DONE, TIRED, AND READY TO GET IT (LABOR/DELIVERY) OVER WITH. KEEP IN MIND THAT IT WILL BE DONE SOON AND YOU'LL HAVE, GOD WILLING, A BEAUTIFUL BABY BOY.
CONTINUE YOUR WALKING AND LET NATURE, OR DESTINY, TAKE ITS COURSE.

yea castor oil isnt the best thing to take...
i guess the only thing you can really do is just like you said.. walking or sex... or just wait it out... he will come out eventually.. ;)

DONT TAKE CASTOR OIL!!! it works as a laxative... do your body good and don't take anymore. as for how to get your baby to come out faster, you can't it'll come on it's own. CONGRATS!!!!
