If you are 36 weeks I wouldn't do anything to push labor, full term is 37 and better safe then sorry! I would wait another week before trying, and really your body might do this on its own without you doing anything. All the herbal stuff is more of a wives tale, and plus they don't recommend herbal medication when pregnant, so I would stay away from it. I would go with the natural stuff, walking and sex, try to keep upright and moving and your body will dialate. Good Luck

I go to the doctor thursday and I hope I am further than 1cm like I was last week. Walk and have sex is my suggestion.
