39+3 HELP

So I'm 39 weeks and 3 days and I'm only dilated to a one. My doctor doesn't believe the baby will be on time and she has scheduled me to be induced on 11/9...I don't want to be induced at all...but my baby girl doesn't seem to want to come out. Contractions are minimum, I wake up with pelvic pain but nothing a nice warm shower can't take care of. I really don't want to go an extra week of pregnancy and I was planning on doing this natural. Anyone have any ideas on how to "jump start" this labor??!! Help help help PLEASE

Evening Primrose oil. Insert it vaginally! I've read amazing things on it. Will put you in labor the next day for some people!!

Cleaning helps and squatting while u shower. Make sure to shower with hot hot water. I had my baby the day of my due dte and I never exercised at all just my last week took hot showers and had the water hit my lower back while i rubbed it with soap and did alot of squats. Went 2 times to a park to walk n tht did it. N my water broke :D u can also try drinking hot chocolate or hot teas
