Though it’s so incredibly hard and uncomfortable, don’t try to force your body to do something it isn’t ready to do. It can put stress on both you and the babe, make for a longer and harder labor and if baby really gets stressed they can pass meconium and end up in NICU from inhaling it. Basically what it boils down to...there’s many risks involved in doing so and the only downside to not doing so is discomfort possibly for a few more weeks. I would encourage walking and squats. That doesn’t necessarily induce labor, it prepares your body for it and that is perfectly ok. Sex if you wish is also fine. And I’m happy you won’t do castor oil. But my main advice is the just try and take it easy and enjoy what’s left of your pregnancy while you can. I hope it goes by fast.
