Nothing's working because none of that is meant to induce labor. Labor's started by a chain reaction of hormone changes starting with the fetal brain. This in turn cause hormonal changes within the mother's brain. These hormonal changes together is what causes the mother's brain to produce a copious amount of Oxytocin so that the uterus starts contracting and the cervix begins dilating. Nothing short of medically forcing the synthetic Oxytocin hormone will cause these changes to occur before its 'time'
