Frustrating

Melissa • First Glow baby in December 2016, just found out I'm pregnant again and due in March 2019.

So I went back to the doctor today. Was told again there's nothing they can do for the pain, but then my doctor also said my cervix is "hard as a rock". I'm 2cm dilated, but he said he will still have to start my induction on Tuesday with a cervical ripening because of how hard it is. I'm allergic to cervadil, so he wanted to avoid this, but he is hoping the other meds won't affect me the same way. Is there anything to help efface at home? Other than sex and the evening primrose oil? I've been drinking tons of raspberry leaf tea, but nothing is happening much now.
