Inducing birth

I'm 40+1 today and doc says I am not showing any signs of labour yet. Will be going in for one last check up in three days time before inducing on the 41st week. I would love to skip the induction part, but nothing I do seem to help. Did the pre-natal induction massage, squats, walks, climbing stairs, sex blah blah blah. I'm even running about making deliveries everyday, but it just doesn't work. Any more tips to let your body go into labour naturally?

Unfortunately, yes. And my cervix refuse to open after 19 hours, so I had an emergency cesarean in the end. So much for hoping for an epidural-free natural labour 😅😅😅
