40 Weeks! Still Pregnant

I'm 40 Weeks & 1 Day With No Signs of Labor or Contractions.
I'm 50% Effaced & Have Like That for Awhile & I'm Not Dilated..
Any Advice On How to Get the Process Going? I Reall Don't Want to
Wait Another Week Before My Doctor Decides They Can Induce Me.

I'm in the same boat. My due date is tomorrow still not dilated. Doc said I have an unfavorable cervix. Totally disappointed. I've heard walking squats going up and down stairs spicy food pineapple sex accupressure. There is also an induction massage but that costs money

I'm 41 weeks and 1 day.. I've tried evening primrose oil and pineapple from 36 weeks onward and my cervix has done absolutely nothing however most women say that they are fairly effective.
