Concern.

My due date is in 3 days. But i am having no contractions or anything whatsoever! Im worried he wont be here on time. Im already struggling with this big ole belly! I want him out. I also wanna know if any other mother havent walked, not having sex, doing anything to induce labor, and the baby has came on time?

Sadly there is nothing that really works until baby is ready.  If you try an old wives tale and something happens it's more of a coincidence.  I tried it all except for castor oil after knowing someone who was hospitalized Cuz of it. You could all of a sudden boom start dilating and have very little notice or you could slowly work up to it. Rest when you can before as much as possible. The hard work is coming.

Due dates are a myth :) only 5% of babies are born on their due date. 70% take longer. Sit back and relax as much as possible, your baby will come out when he's ready. The theory is that am enzyme is produced when his lungs are mature enough and this induces labor. Hence it is very important to let it happen on his own.
Weeks 40-41 are more common as the real birth weeks.
