I have only 26 days to go till my due date what can i do to speed it up?

I am so impatient i am so heavy irratiable i am so frustrated as i have 3 children under 6 and its hard to run around after them or pick up but they do pick up their toys after telling them 5 times hehe. I am going to buy some raspberry tea a bit later hopefully something will kick start labour. Any other advice apart from sex as i can as i have bad pelvis problems i am 36 weeks 3 days and 37 weeks is full term!!!!!

1. I know that your at the end of your tether, try a bumpy road or warm bath, but bubby will come when he or she is good and ready, sorry you are suffering, but hey think of what a beautiful thing you have created that not all of us can, you are truly blessed, goodluck to you and your family!
2. 26 days is still almost 4 weeks. That would mean if your baby came now it would be almost a month premature. Almost definitely your baby is not ready to be born yet. I understand your impatience - been there done that let me tell you! I well remember feeling hot, heavy and tired. There have been times I'd have done almost anything, - but I'd have been wrong. Your little baby will be with you for many many years, so surely you can wait just a little bit longer now? Do you want to run the risk (on your baby's behalf) of him/her having breathing problems from immature lungs? Feeding problems? jaundice? and any one of many other possible complications potentially facing a baby born early? I understand that lots of babies are born early with little or no complications, but you'd be loading the dice against your baby's best interests. Please think about this. With three children already, I'm sure you have so much love for them and for this little one too. I am sure you only really want what's best. I feel for you, I know what it's like, but please hang in there, it's for the best in the long run. That's a precious little life you have there, and I wish you all the best whatever you decide to do.
3.

5. hi they say, eat a curry, go for a drive over humps in the road, have se.,(but my husband says not at same time lol) but someone will say for you to take olive oil, as it is supposed to bring it on quick, but could be too quick and cause complitcations. good luck and not long now!
