I am going to be pregnant FOREVER, I know it!

I'm so stressed out. I don't have the luxury of induction. Its not something my hospital does for women who have had c sections before. This would be my 2nd VBAC if I can get there! But I am 39 weeks measuring 43 and the baby is guessed to be 8-9lbs already. Yes, I know... not 100% but my last 2 were 8.13 and 9.5 so it stands to reason. If he gets too big they're going to "reccomend c section" and I would be dumb to ignore their advice...
Idk if Im done having kids yet and 1 more c section and thats it for me... no more natural birth! I have 2 kids I cannot be out of commision as long as I was with my c section before. Husband has to work. There is literally nobody to assist me daily. Everyone works. I really want that vbac!
I have tried it all! Nipple stimulation, sex,  walking, raspberry leaf tea,spicy food! Nothing works!
Is there some magical thing I havent tried yet?!

I have no idea how dilated/effaced I am. Last I knew sunday I was "a loose 1 maybe 2cm" and I was "soft" how soft?! No clue.
I am just really stressing.... Tryyyyying to relax but phhhttt ok...right lol
I am all over the place!
Stories,words of encouragment.... anything helps!

Surprisingly no.... I ate a lot of bananas when I was pregnant with that one so im assuming it must have prevented that. It isnt very good tasting though. My dad had me conviced it was just my hormones making everything taste gross lol

Okay this might sound crazy but there is a restaurant called Scalini's that swears by their eggplant parmesan they have the recipe on their website and a whole wall of eggplant parmesan babies I have a couple of friends that it worked for

Oh, I understand completely now.  With my last baby I would just turn up the bottle of castor oil and chase it with juice or sweet tea.  I had diarrhea but also my baby.
