20 Days Left! Need advice!

My doctor is inducing me on November 10th, 1 day shy of 38 weeks due to Gestational Hypertension so I only have 20 days left! I'm a FTM & I'm really nervous about being induced due to all the horror stories about pitocin. Will you all please share some things you all did to shorten your labor, when you started doing these things, & how often you did them. I've heard of pineapple and red raspberry leaf tea but I have no idea how to use them or when to use them. Thanks!!!
