Almost 42 weeks pregnant and going to be induced at 43 weeks. My OB is letting me try to encourage my own labor at home since I do not want to be medically induced. I know I may not have a choice but I might as well try since I have the OK from my doctor. Does anyone have any tips, herbs, or other ways to soften/ripen cervix, start contractions, encourage labor altogether? I’m only 1cm dilated. 😒

( I do not want to take castor oil or evening primrose. )
