over being pregnant, help!

I'm coming up on 37 weeks in a few days and I want to know what are some of you ladies doing to dilate and soften your cervix besides sex..  My doctor said (Tuesday) I'm dilated to a 1 and I was in l&d last night (Wednesday) and the nurse said I'm only fingertip idk who is more accurate or which to believe but I want to dilate to a 3 by my next appointment on the 23rd... So can you ladies please share what you are doing or have done to progress faster.. I tried castor oil and oj with my first 5 years ago and it worked I'm thinking of trying it again

Well castor oil I think shouldn't be used until fullterm and your body is ready for labor. But I drink 3 cups of raspberry leaf tea everyday. And I take 3 evening primrose oil everyday 2 orally and one vaginally.
