I can tell you, if that baby doesn't want to come right now, nothing will help besides being induced.
I tried it all. Walked every day, jogged (I still jogged all through my pregnancy so it wasn't an issue), sex, spicy foods. My LO came 6 days after due date.
Just rest now and it'll come when it's ready.

A birthing ball worked wonders for me. Got it and started using it straight away went into labour the next day. Some people might say it's just a coincidence but I think it's definitely worth a try they are very affordable too

I was a week overdue with my first. Try fresh pineapple and a warm bath! And walk!

Is this your first little one?  It's not totally uncommon to go past your due date.  My second was a week past due, and I had contractions none stop since week 35 with her- on the other hand, my little one that I just had was born right on his due date- I was thinking he was going to be late because I felt nothing, then all the sudden my water broke and 2 hours later he was in my arms.  
There are some things that you can do to try to start labor, but if your little one and your body aren't ready, they will probably not do much.  You can try walking, eating spicy foods, foot rubs, sex, some women try castor oil- I personally never have done that one though.
Good luck to you and I hope you are holding your little one safe and sound soon!
