  • I am such a big believer in epo with my son I didn't go passed 30% effaced till after my water was broken and now I'm 70% effaced
  • Wow!!!!! Yea I'm glad u jumped on the train
  • Haha yea. I was 0.5 cm at 38w. I hope its doing something down there. @momof22be
  • @everyone lol so last night i started this epo thing and i woke up with my underwear ans shorts all oily i was sad because i was like oh man it didnt work it all came out but after reading this i guess its normal for it to be a mess well hopefully this works i want my son out already
  • My Dr told me NOT to use it during my last pregnancy.
  • I started drinking my red rasberry leaf tea at 32 weeks and am going to start taking epo at 34 weeks. I bought the 1000mg gelcaps and was going to take 1 orally for week 34 then increase to 1 orally and 1 vaginally. Then week 35 2 orally and 1 vaginally. Then week 36 2 orally and 2 vaginally. Week 37 2 orally and 3 vaginally. Then cont that until my son gets here.
  • all she said was it could cause complications neither of us would want. :/ she said stay away from that & nipple stimulation.

    @pnsw524 are you sure your doctor didn't say Castor oil? That's what you drink. Evening primrose oil are capsules you insert vaginally to get your cervix ready for labor, its not the laxative like Castor oil. Evening primrose oil has no found risks to mother or baby :)
  • @mommyoftwoprincesses Ya it was primrose oil lol castor oil she said I could try if I wanted too but who knows.

    I figure if you reasearch online you should be able to find any risks there might be! Good luck :)
  • Castor oil i know has risks to it, thats the only thing i will not try @pnsw524
