Labor Prep herbs?

What herbs do you plan on using if any for labor prep?

I have been thinking of ordering 5w by Nature's Sunshine, but the bottles only come in 100 tabs and you need 210 to make it to a full 5 weeks, and if I go overdue, I will need a third bottle, not exactly something I want to do.

What did or did not work for you?

My midwife says she only endorses the RRL tea and the EPO, just because there is "so much stuff on the market" and she has "so many clients" she just does not know what works better than others. My doula had never heard of it, but I am thinking of asking my hypnobabies group.
