After trying all of that your baby just must not be ready...Just hang in there,
Thank God You can't be pregnant forever....lol..
How long did your Dr. say he would let you go before inducing? Normally it is just 1 week some say 2 weeks over..
EDITED
Just please don't try castor oil...It is very dangerous. Several people have suggested castor oil..and while it may have worked for them with no problem.. I WOULDN"T DO IT>. It makes you vomit and have diarhea.... AND can also put the baby in distress and cause him to Poop in the amniotic fluid..which of course he would digest. WHICH then you might end up having to have an emergency C section... It is very dangerous.. Don't try it...
The Spicy food suggestion from one of the ladies is a very good one... I had forgotten that... I know lots of people that have tried that and it worked. And I have also heard about the bumpy ride. GOO D LUCK!!!

in the event that they get to be each and each 3 to 5 minutes and comparatively stong lasting a minute or extra call ur ob. genuine problematic paintings does now not enable up, it is not important what u do. So in the event that they go away after u start up walking, ingesting some water(becuz dehyration can purpose contractions), or only moving then they're only BH contractions. They help get waiting you for the rather deal :) properly sturdy fortune

i would say walking.. ALOT.. but if you have tried that then there is nothing really else to do.. but wait.. and some people still cant dialate then.. thats why the go ahead and induce you.. just keep following up with your doctor.. they wont let you go too far over 40 weeks.. congrats and good luck!

My friend at 40 weeks went out to eat Mexican food and then they went for a bumpy ride in their Jeep. Her daughter was born the next day. Probably just a coincedence, but you never know!

I've read that castor oil helps bring on labor. It tastes horrible, so you should mix it with orange juice or something similar, to reduce the oily feel. Here's a website I found on castor oil and labor.
Good luck!! Any day now!!
(Let me know if it works!!)

Chose a happy birthday for your baby & be induced the rest of the way.

I have heard that raspberry leaf tea works, but it didn't help me (went 2 weeks overdue...ugh).
Also I have heard that deep knee bends, semi-vigorous walking, and jumping can help. Be careful though!
