I had my baby at 40 weeks 4 days. Sex, tons of walking, bouncing on yoga ball, & nipple stimulation did the trick.
Good luck!

I would also go to a health food store and get a bottle of raspberry leaf capsules. Squats can also help the hormones in your body get moving...

Wow, talk to your baby, "baby please come out" that's what I did when I was induced and wouldn't open more than 5cm after 3 days. They threatened c-section and I didn't want that. I lowered the epidural and changed positions. I talked to my baby and pictured her finding her way out with help from powers to be. Anyways whatever I did worked, because a few hours later, she found her way out naturally.
