    I was told to actually insert it into your va jay jay the oil that is w/o the capsule. Like clip the capsule put it inside your vag and then squeeze it. Thats what I did with my youngest and he was born within the week. And I have also done it with this one and dialated to a 3 in one week.

    The oil has prostaglandin which the hormone semen has. Its not used to induce labor but to dilate and thin out ur cervix. Wen ur in labor it should make it easier for u to dilate. U csn either insert them vaginally, take em orally, or both

    @3rdtimemomma @excitednewmom how many do I need per night/day?
  • ExcitedNewMomExcitedNewMom
    How many wks r u??
  • ExcitedNewMomExcitedNewMom
    N how many mg is each capsule?
  • moodymommiemoodymommie
    @excitednewmom did your dr tell you to get it? & where did you get it? I never heard of it but im a ftm and I only just started my 3rd trimester
  • second_time_mommy7second_time_mommy7
    @moodymommie it is oil capsules that help to soften your cervix to prepare it for labor. you can buy them at Walmart. your doc will probably not recommend them I found out about them from pregly! You can start taking them orally at 34 weeks and inserting them vaginally at 36 weeks.make sure you ask your doctor first though... I don't know how many to take or any of the details just when and where lol
  • ExcitedNewMomExcitedNewMom
    @moodymommie she didnt suggest it but i told her i was takin it n she was completely ok with it. I started taking it at 34w but i would only take 1000mg at a time which is 2 capsules (orally). Then at 36wks i started taking 3-4 capsules (mostly 4 a nite tho) vaginally. How many wks r u?
  • ExcitedNewMomExcitedNewMom
    Yea u can get it ay walmart. I got mine at gnc. Also they sell it at target, rite aid, walgreens, cvs, etc.. wherever they sell vitamins u can find it
  • second_time_mommy7second_time_mommy7
    @excitednewmom I'm 37 weeks and they are 1000mg
  • ExcitedNewMomExcitedNewMom
    @second_time_mommy7 my mw suggested 1000 mgs til i hit 36w then i can use up to 2000mgs. It depends on how mgs ur capsules r. Mine r 500 each. At 36w u should use em more vaginally bcuz they r thought to work better that way

  • ExcitedNewMomExcitedNewMom
    Np. I actually didnt get checked last week but i have an appt tmr so i will def update u and @jay_brad bcuz she is also taking them lol. O n since ur man will be around y dnt u insert them n then have sex? Only if ur able to tho. My bf n i use em during sex so his semen is a plus. Its also great lube.
  • second_time_mommy7second_time_mommy7
    @excitednewmom I seen a few women say that they do that but was to embarrassed to ask. Do I puncture the capsules or just put it in and go at it. Also does it stink or feel gross?
  • ExcitedNewMomExcitedNewMom
    Lol dnt be girl bcuz im not too embarrassed to share. For foreplay he can puncture one n massage ur cervix with it. Then u can puncture another n rub it on his manhood n then go at it. Thts how we do it. Or u can jus insert them rite before hand without puncturing, they will still dissolve in there. Its completely up to u
