At home labor induction

Hey guys! So I’m 38.5 weeks and my doctor suggested since I was only 1cm dilated, to try a few things to get labor going at home (we’re working towards an elective induction). She suggested pumping, raspberry leaf tea, using my yoga ball, sex, and even the evening primrose oil capsules. So far, I had a bad reaction to the capsules so I won’t be continuing those, and I’ve had zero energy for sex 😭.

Has just doing the pumping, raspberry leaf tea, and using a yoga ball helped anyone? Or is there anything else you have used, that helped you, that you recommend? Any advice is greatly appreciated! My doctor agreed to an induction at 39 weeks, as long as I have progressed further by my next appointment. This only leaves me a few days to get things going! Please send help!!

And please, no “just wait it out until 40 weeks” “he’ll come when he’s ready” and all of that. Even though it may be an “elective” induction, I actually need it. So please no negative comments when you do not know the entire story ☺️ positivity only ladies!
