I would try walking alot, I heard this helps you dilate. Also since you're close to your due date sex helps you dilate and the semen can cause contractions.

I know yoru ready to get things moving.  The reality is there is nothing you can really do to speed things up.  Labor is a product of hormones, and without medical intervention, baby will usually not come until he/she is good and ready.  You are so close now.  Hang in there, and it will happen before you know it.  Your body has already begun the process, it won't be long now.  All the best to you.
