There are a few things that are said to help, but in all reality, your baby will come when they are good and ready!
You can try a warm bath, have sex, or a shot of castor oil (beware, that stuff is completely vile!!)
Otherwise, just hang tight... your baby will come soon enough!!

Well nothing you can do will MAKE you go into labor for sure, but before I went into labor I cleaned the house like crazy and walked alot. I went into labor on my due date and delivered the next day.

everyone tells me to have sex and walk but you know it doesnt work for some people and i am 40 weeks and i am getting induced tuesday morning. i dont believe that anything can bring on labor until your body is ready for it. good luck

Sex (sperm is said to soften the cervix)
Have an orgasm (if you're close to labor this might tip you off)
Walk (helps you dilate)
Drink a glass of whine
Go on a bumpy car ride

It is an option, for them and yourself. Next visit, ask for a membrane sweep, you may go into labour on your own. Also, 41 weeks is the ideal time to be induced, for baby's sake. Good luck and congrats.
