Sex- semen ripens the cervix and or gas causes contractions..
Walking and going up and down stairs
Bouncing on a yoga/birthing ball
Pineapple, foods with oregano/basil, spicy foods, evening primrose oil, bumpy car rides, membrane sweep

Just whatever you do know that baby will come when ready (I know- not words of encouragement).. These will just help your body speed up the process a little... FTM's usually go overdue :/  only some of them dont-- I was fortunate. . 38w1d with baby 1 and 38w6d with baby 2... good luck... and whatever you do... don't try castor oil... it is AWFUL and doesn't work... I took it with my 2nd at 38w2d-- had strong contractions for 8.5 hours and labor stalled out

The dr told me to have lots of sex and walking to help with dilating for my first born

Try to relax and wait... you could still have a few weeks to go! Get some sleep whenever you can, you won't get much for a while :)
