Does fresh pineapple work to start labor?

So I am 39 weeks and 2 days pregnant. I am in a lot of pain and very restless about just getting this baby out but I am trying to avoid induction so I want to try other things. At my doctor appointment two days ago I wasn't dilated at all and she made a guess that I was about 20 percent effaced but my cervix is still very long and hard. I have been having false contractions for the last week so I thought for sure I would be dilated a little but I am not.

I am trying fresh pineapple and am wondering if it works even on people who aren't dilated or effaced. Will it at least help me dilate a little?
