40 weeks today, 500+ km's from home, WANT BABY OUT NOW! HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING I...

...CAN POSSIBLY THINK OF!? Is there anything else anyone can suggest other than:
Raspberry Leaf tea, have been drinking this for over 3 weeks
Evening Primrose Oil, have been taking this for 5 weeks
Sex, partner is at home over 500 km's away
Walking, have been walking nearly 3km's a day
Star Jumps (midwife reccommended these)
There is no bath in the accommodation we are staying in and I am definately not a fan of the castor oil idea or curries. Please help me, my mother and my 2 year old & I are going out of our minds!!!!
 
I tried castor oil and it just made me sick and nothing happened. What worked for me was having my midwife strip my membranes!

Honestly though it may seem like you just want to be over being pregnant but just wait til your baby is born. The time flies so fast. I just had my daughter back in March and it feels like I just had her but she'll be 15 weeks on Sunday and it just makes me sad. Keep that baby in you as long as you can believe me. lol. Congratulations!
 
Try:
Squats
Standing up all the time let gravity help bring baby down.
Also a sweep & stretch from your doctor/midwife.
I had that with my son and he was born 13hrs after it. Walk walk walk after it though.
 
well this may sound crazy but w/ my first child i went to the doctor the day b4 i was due and she used her fingernails to scratch my cervix and i went into labr early the next morning....you could try that
 
you have been here before, so you should know that the baby will come when good and ready. you cannot rush nature. just sit back and relax and baby will come.
