My wife and I have our hospital bags packed, ready to take with us when we're heading to the hospital to have the baby.

This is not my first baby. I am close to one week past my due date. No signs of labor. First, tell me how to survive because my first baby was here by now and I just cannot do this much longer. Second, why haven't I gone into labor yet and what if I don't?
