Overdue and getting worried!

Ok so I am 40 weeks and 3 days. I am not rushing my child out, as this is my last pregnancy, I just feel like I will never go into labor?!?!?  I have had no sign whatsoever that I will go into labor! No contractions besides braxton hicks a few times a day. I have walked and been having sex. Will I ever go into labor on my own?!?!!? How come I feel so normal? Im cooking and cleaning like its another day...getting down in the dumps :( experience ladies? This is my 2nd pregnancy and my 1st was born on her due date. I lost my mucous plug with her 9 hours before birth and had no contractions until the day of delivery. She was an emergency c section because she went into distress. I am having a vbac with this one and they are not allowed to induce me. If I don't go into labor on my own before 42 weeks I will have to have another c section...DOES MY BODY WORK?!?!!?

Hi, I am 12 days overdue and have no signs of labour either! Am hoping to be induced today or tomorrow at the latest, this is my last pregnancy also and i was induced once overdue with my other 3 children, I just don't think my body can do spontaneous labour. Have also been told I'm carrying a large baby, so am worried now the longer they leave me the greater the chance of intervention.

I'm in the same boat, but this is my first baby. Been trying everything, which reminds me I have pineapple in the refrigerator.
