Opening Cevix

I'm 39 weeks as of today and my cervix is softening but still closed. What are some ways to open up your cervix? I really don't want to go past my due date of the 18th or be induced or have a c-section.

My doctor said the best way is to walk alot without exhausting yourself! I tried the raspberry tea with my first and it didn't do anything.  I read this article about how basil and oregano help so maybe make some eggplant parmesan?? :)
