Speed up labor

Are there any tricks to speeding up labor? My due date is 06/22/15 but a month ago she was measuring at 7.5 lbs. I'm miserable and she's in no hurry to get here.

I actually had contractions start tonight. My bf wanted me to go to the hospital. They checked me and sent me home. I'm still only at 1 cm. Starting to feel like I'm going to be pregnant forever lol.

It will happen when the baby is ready. Ultrasounds can be off by 2 lbs on the weight. Baby could be only 5.5 lbs.

Honestly there really is nothing that really works to speed up labor , it goes as fast as it wants to go and nothing we can do about it.. you can try walking ect but there is no for sure way to speed it up.
