I am sorry you are so uncomfortable!
Unfortunately babies seem to come on their own agenda's and there isn't a lot we can do about it.
You seem to be trying a lot of the recommended things already like walking and sex.

The only other thing I can recommend is pleading with your Dr for an induction, but honestly I doubt he/she will go for it because most won't induce before your due-date unless there is a real reason for it.
He/she might if your baby is going to be very large though.

Good luck!

Before you read this, please know that these methods should never be used to induce labor early. Your baby might not be developed enough for birth yet. Also, none of these methods will work if your body is not ready to give birth.
