tomtommom - when I had my one and only little girl (22 years ago), she went 42 weeks. I thought she would never come out. My sister gave me a word of advice on how to get things started, and it worked for me. She said to soak in a warm tub and while in there to stimulate my nipples to release my body's own pitocin (your husband can help with this part). I tried it and my labor started withing an hour. So, this might be worth a try....
