Pineapple softens your cervix and so does evening primrose oil. Sometimes that helps you dilate but mostly it just prepares your cervix for opening. I only had to get two stiches after I pushed my son out.

I understand your fustration. I'm currently 41 weeks with no dilation what so ever. Getting induced today.
I did everything, I did yoga, ate pineapple, squats, dancing and nothing lol. You still have a few more weeks to go. Just relax and waiting for the right moment :)!

Dilating really means nothing, you can go from a 0-4cm overnight with contractions. My mom was 0 and had me the next day! You'll be just fine (:

You're only 36 weeks, let your body do its job and decide when it's time for baby.
