39 weeks, 5 days

I'm due in 2 days and this is my first baby. The doctor encouraged me to do things to naturally induce labor like having sex and eating spicy food. Spicy food didn't work and sex is too uncomfortable right now. What are other things I can do that don't involve castor oil and raspberry leaf tea?

My doctor recommended "nip stims."  Unfortunately she suggested this in the hospital, and my husband got really embarrassed trying to do that in such a clinical setting.  But it might work at home.
