Overdue for vbac/hbac?

Anyone overdue for their vbac/hbac right now? Have tried everything (epo, caullophyllum, raspberry tea, nooky, hot salsa, parsley tea) and am 40+2 with closed cervix. Previous section was at 40+6 due to fetal distress when they insisted on inducing me.....
Have pro-vbac/hbac doc, but still the policy is to let me go only 10 days overdue. After that I guess it's a section (no pessaries here in Argentina and induction not allowed). Impossible to sweep membranes if cervix is high and closed like at the mo.
Any ideas or anyone going through this? Thanks!!

I have heard that evening primose oil on your cervix helps to ripen them (you are meant to squeeze the oil out of about 4 capsules), but needs to be done roughly every 4 hours. My midwife also swears by the hula hoop on the Wii Fit. Also accupressure is meant to be good. There are videos on Youtube showing you what to do. I am also overdue and nothing has worked for me though. Everyones differrent so all worth a try. Oh my midwife also said that you should put a pillow under your bum and stay with your feet up for 1/2 hour after nooky, to keep the sperm on your cervix, cause this is what helps ripen them.

Good luck.
