Sorry OP, nothing sill induce labour. It’s all a bit of a myth. Baby will arrive when he/she is ready!

Ginger tea won’t induce labour.
Nipple stimulation and having sex may help get things going, because of the hormones that are released and prostaglandin in the sperm which can soften the cervix. It’s the same thing which is in the induction pessary. Clary sage can cause contractions. But otherwise there’s not much that will do anything to start labour. Even the things I’ve mentioned will work if your body is ready.
