What can I do to get my labor to start progressing at a faster rate?

It sounds like you're already doing about everything that you can for natural induction. Some people swear by things like castor oil, but if stripping your membranes hasn't worked then that will likely only give you nasty cramps. Most often when these types of induction don't work it's because baby just plain isn't ready to come out yet.My own daughter was born three months ago at 40 weeks, 4 days, and also had stalled labor a couple of times...that last couple of weeks was extremely frustrating, but when it came down to it we just had to wait for her.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
