There really isn't much to do. There are so many different ideas when it comes to starting labor, but in all honesty, if that baby isn't ready then he isn't going to come until he is. I know your uncomfortable and 17 days probably seems like an eternity, but at 37 weeks, your just at the point now where if a child is born there is likely no NICU stay. So it is actually good that he is hanging in there right now, growing nice and strong. Just hang in there...it won't be long now.
I mean I have 17 days sorry..
To be honest if you have 17 more week to go.. it wouldn't be healthy for him to come meet the world now!
