Any ideas?!! Safe ones please lol

So today I'm 40 weeks and baby is not giving any signs of coming out soon. I want to keep everything as natural as possible and so I walked and did errands all day yesterday in hopes that would help the rascal along, all I got for my effort was fatigue! I even think it put baby to sleep cuz it moved less than usual!! I really don't want to be induced. What can I do to help baby along? Tyvm fr taking the time to answer ;)  ...p.s. I'm a vegetarian so no ideas about consuming funny things lol thanx.

*hours not days haha. And that vodka is safe nothing will harm you or your baby and as I said it's a small shot not like pub ones max. 1/2 of it. But I'd try everything at your stage tbh and my sister had same problem with 2 of 3 kids and coctail always helped her. She is into nature etc so I believe her in this case even tho I'm not like her

I'm 40 weeks Tuesday and showing no signs. They stripped my membranes Tuesday and it didn't do anything but hurt and make me uncomfortable all day. I've tried lots of sex and walking.  I'm having contractions just not painful or close enough together.  I'm so frustrated.
