10 days ways to get labor started natural?

I have 10 days left im a ftm and i havent even dilated I dont want to go passed my due date and have to be induced cause it scares me more than labor. Is there any ways to naturally start labour?  Ive been having lots of sex. And im active. Not up to drinking castor oil cause I was sick for so long at the start of pregnancy?

I'm going to be induced a week before my due date because my baby is so big! Whatever you do, don't take castor oil! The baby might have a bm in the womb and it could make them have bad problems! I heard sex, walking,and nipple stimulation are the best ways to help things move along :)

Why would they induce you as soon you go past your due date? With a normal pregnancy it is safe to go 10-14 days past your due date (it's just an estimate, not a deadline). I'd refuse an induction unless there is a clear medical reason for it, better for you and your baby.

I would say walk and sex but I'm in the same situation babies come when they want too. I have 9 days left.
