Preparing for Labor

Mackenzie
So I decided to start evening primrose oil tonight. Hopefully it helps. My doctor told me today my body is "gearing up" for labor which is why I've been contracting for almost five days, even though I'm barely dilated and my cervix is still hard. I can't make baby come but I'm hoping to get the process rolling and give my body a helping hand. Hopefully it works. 
Anyone had positive results using anything else? I may be impatient but I want to meet my boy, and my body is not coping well at this point. Plus he's been playing tag with my pelvis for a week and it's getting frustrating.
