4 days overdue

Hey, did anything seem to work to help get labor started? I just want to meet my little guy and I've tried rasberry leaf tea and walking. But how far should I walk and at what pace? Any other suggestions?

Haha I totally can't handle sex right now. But I will definitely ask for a sweep at my next appointment. Maybe if I stop trying it will happen! It's so frustrating. I'm 2cm and she said my cervix was very soft (didnt give me a percent) but I don't want to have to get pitocen :(

I tried everything pineapple, raspberry leaf tea,  oregano and basil tea, eggplant parm, sex, walking, birthing ball, nipple stimulation, relaxation, visualization, castor oil, and everything else. Nothing worked I wrnt into labor on my own but not as a result of anything I did.  I gave up trying and I think that is what did it :( I hope you go into labor soon!  I know how it is...
