38w & going insane

I'm just going through the worst pregnancy blahs ever! I'm 19, ftm due Christmas day. I had my weekly check up yesterday & I'm 1cm & 50% effaced. I asked my dr what I can do too speed up the process, he said the only thing I should bother trying is having sex & leaving the sperm in there. The only problem is that my boyfriend refuses to have sex with me because it freaks him out now that our baby is so big. There's no way I can make it till Christmas & keep my sanity. Please, I'm willing to try whatever at this point that will help naturally induce my labor, any tips?
