I am SO ready to have this baby....

Mel
My EDD date came and went yesterday and although I knew in the back of my mind that going past 40 weeks is completely normal, I must say I'm pretty disappointed. 
My doctor will not check how far dialated or effaced I am until I am actually in labor. Furthermore, induction is not an option (until 42 weeks unless there are health concerns) so I am at a complete lost as to when I will meet my little girl! 
I am a FTM and am having a daughter. I've been losing my mucus plug for about 3 days now (from 39w5d) did anyone have any particular signs that labor was starting soon after? Does anyone have an advice on how to get things going with labor?
