Past my due date

I am 3 days past my due date and I am feeling perfectly fine no contraction of any sort. What can I do to speed up the process. Thus is my 2nd pregnancy and with my last child I was induce due to low water. Last time I was at the dr I was dilating 1 at 60 percent which was on August 29.

I'm 5 days over due with my second baby and I've eaten so much pineapple this past week so that definitely didn't work. My first was a week over due no matter what I tried... So as long as baby is still doing good inside you there is really no reason to induce unless medically necessary. Might have my membranes swept in the next couple days to speed things along but really don't want to be induced unless he really doesn't wanna come out lol

I know it doesn't sound good...but dates help speed up the process of you maybe wat 3 of them. I know a lot of women use that to try to go into labor. But it's weird that it being your second child and you're over due. Your doctor should honestly schedule an induction because you shouldn't have to wait this long with the second one.
