Eating dates for labor??

Kirsten
Has anyone had success with eating dates to bring on labor? I'm 2 days from due date and really want to avoid going past due date, scared of induction although my midwives wont go that route til I'm past 41 weeks at least. I'm 2cm dilated and I've read that dates can cause cervix to soften -& dilate a little. I have also been doing primrose oil vaginally! Really trying here 😥
