tips to help go into labor

Well im 39 weeks due in exactly a week and am going to be induced Thursday if I havent had him by then. Well last thursday at my appointment they said I was still closed but soft. :/ so he said to try everything I can to try to have contractions/dialate/go into labor before Thursday so it'll be easier and quicker to induce me. So anybody have any tips to try and get this thing rolling? Im hoping I can be at least two cm by my induction date if not have him before then! Fingers.crossed. Lol

Thanks ladies(: and I read in my what to expect when your expecting book that you have to stimulate your nipples for five minutes straight every fifteen minutes for an hour three times a day. Ouch. Lol but I prolly will try it. Im desperate at this point. And will definitely be going to the grocery store(:

Pineapples or citrus fruits sometime work. Good luck!

Also I have heard that nipple stimulation helps.

A lot of walking, a lot of sex, and maybe buy an exercise ball and bounce on it to help engage babys head
