Inducing labour?

I know baby will come when they come, but I’m actually scheduled for a csection as I had one with my first. My doctor is allowing me to try VBAC if I go into labour naturally aka not medically done before the date of my csection. I’m only 36 weeks (planning to try at the 37 week mark) but csection booked for 38 weeks 3 days. Anyone have any suggestions? He’s head down!
