The best and only thing that really works to get labor progressing is having sex. An orgasm can stimulate contractions and semen has prostaglandins which help your cervix ripen and dilate.
I'm in a similar situation as you. I'm 39 1/2 weeks, have been having contractions off and on and even a couple of false starts, but nothing is happening. I'm miserable, but I'm only 2cm dilated and have been stuck there for about 3 weeks. This is my third baby and I'm afraid I'm going to be induced like I was with my first. Silly me, I was thinking it got easier each time...
