anything yall recomend?

Im due in 2 days, im not dilated at all or anything i have some contractions that just always stop. Do yall recommend anything i can do to help dilate me? A work out a dance? Idk just anything, i am walking but anything else y'all have heard that works to help with dilation. Or anything i can eat or do to help make contractions real, other than castor oil of corse. Im not willing to take that unless i go over due for to much since i dont want to get induced. Any advice will help as i am soo frustrated that im not progressing. Haven't even lost my plug or anything, but i know that doesnt always happen. So anyone? Please and thax in advance:)

Im staying active all today and tomorrow. Unfortunately i already put in my head ill pass my due date which is tomorrow

Evening primrose oil is said to help soften the cervix and therefore start dilation. I think you have to start taking it orally for a few weeks and then do the vaginal insertions. But at your stage, I'd just skip to the insertion and see if anything happens!
