November Baby is October?

I’m 38 weeks and 4 days, a first time mom and Excited to see my little moon pie. I was expecting to pop on the first week of November but I felt a different pain with contractions that lasted for 40 seconds last Oct. 18. I thought it was already the beginning of my labor, went to my OB and an internal examination was done. She told me that my cervix is soft and the fetal position is already cephalic, placental maturity is already grade 3. So I must expect an early labor on 20s of October. I have been doing a regular walking exercise for 3 rounds at our local stadium, maternity yoga, and I’m eating pineapple and dry dates to induce labor. I even started to go on a maternity leave since Oct. 18 in preparation for my baby to arrive. But still waiting up until this point. Any other tips to induce a quick labor??
