Question- early induction/Hoping to avoid c section

Does anyone know of anything to increase the likelihood of successful induction and avoid it turning into a c section? This is my first. I’m 34+4 today. I have gestational diabetes and possibly IUGR- or maybe just a tiny little thing (wouldn’t surprise me). The combination of her size and the GD is probably going to mean induction at 37 weeks, and I’m just hoping it will go smoothly. I don’t want to do anything crazy because the induction seems so much earlier than normal- don’t want to put her at risk by doing anything excessive before 37 weeks. But- know of any gentle/safe things that may increase success of an induction that soon?
