Any suggestions to naturally start up labor?

I am 39 weeks and the baby is almost 9 pounds... At this point I am ready to be done! I just want to see my baby boy! Are there any home remedies that helped start up labor? I have been walking a lot and I already eat a lot of spicy food. What has helped for some of you?

Eat a pineapple expecially the core. I had 2 over 3 days. My son was 10 days late and I was getting desperate to go into labour naturally.

Do a lot of squats, exercise ball, anything that will put continuous pressure down there.

I tried everything as I was a few days away from induction and castor oil seemed to work for me but I also drink a vat of water with it too as I heard it might dehydrate me.

It's worked for my aunt 5 times peperoni pizza and a small glass of red wine and sex. She went in to labor that night or the next day every time.

My son who I had this morning they said weighed 7 pounds at 37 +4. Had him today at 37+5 and he was 5 pounds 15 ounces. So yeah they where off on the weight. But only by a pound. I took raspberry leaf tea just to help with constipation but It didn't help me dilate at all I only had about 3 cups of it about 5 days before my son was born (which I wasn't trying to do any way but I've heard it works for some)

What helped with my last pregnancy was I went out dancing and then went to the zoo the next day and went into labor that night . and ate lots of spicy food in between.
