Pretty much all the tales of what helps labor are just coincidence.  It's hard, but things like dates, pineapple, or sex only work if your body is already prepped and ready for labor. So, enjoy but just know baby comes when baby wants! Hang in there, I'm sure it won't be long :)

I ate lots of pineapple last week and I'm overdue 40 weeks 5days and it didn't work. I guess it's pure luck.
