No, no baby yet. STILL waiting. Here is what I have learned from this experience:
What DOESN'T work to induce labor: walking, stairs, spicy food, rubbing pressure points (I have bruises people!), bedroom fun :), walking the curb (I tripped last night doing that), relaxing, cleaning and scrubbing, taking care of three 5 year olds all day long, the trots, getting my membranes stripped, losing the plug, etc. etc. You get the point. The only thing I have NOT tried and I WON'T try is castor oil. Sorry folks. That sounds worse than being pregnant another week!
What DOES work: No stinking clue. Still waiting to figure that one out. I have EVERY labor symptom except the most important. Consistent contractions. I'll keep you updated on what does work when it works!

I am telling you.... cook some scrambelled eggs. put a tablespoon of castrol oil in them as you are cooking them.... lots of Salt & Pepper!! it really is not that bad!! PROMISE.
or, mix it in with Orange Juice or Root Beer. Use a straw and just gulp!
I have taken it and it works!!
eek I wouldn't try the castor oil either I wasn't that desperate. It gives you diharrea and that release of bowels is supposed to help relax everything else and help you into labor--agh!
If you get desperate you can try nipple stimulation. Lots of granola people swear by it
