I was the same as you. Tried everything then someone mentioned clary sage. You can get it from te chemist and just put a couple of drops into the bath. I had 2 or 3 baths over 2 days and went into labour after that.
Good luck
Clary sage should only be used when you are at your due date.... although lavender is also good for starting labour... lavender is also a good pain releif and can also help expel the afterbirth etc... its also good mised with some carrier oil for oh to massgae into lower back x
the nipple rolling has to be done on a regular basis for a minimum of 15 minutes per nipple to have any affect
its myths about babies coming earlier.. my first was 12 days late and my second was 10 days late... this one is due on monday and can also see it being later
good luck to you all

Also, try accupuncture or having your ankles massaged.
Finally, there is always the sex and nipple stimulation option
