Last couple weeks &Sad!

Hey ladies, so i am 38weeks today! &Im just getting a little sad :( my doctor told me last week i can start doing things to start up my labor, ive tried everything and NOTHING is working😷 My boyfriend works 4 hours away from me so he only home for the next 3 days then going back to work! and probably won't be around for a few more weeks!! i really wanted him to be there while i give birth but dont know if that will be an option :/ ugh its getting me so sad!! He says he WILL be there but i just wanna have the baby already! I had my first baby at 37 weeks &im 38 now ! my doctor said i will have her in the next few days &won't go my due date! but im scared my bf will be heading back by then! ! What did u ladies do to get your labor started &actually WORKED! i need as much tips as possible plz :/
