EPO

[honeyloops]

Anyone started using Evening Primrose Oil (either ends?!)

Was thinking of starting this at the weekend when I hit 37 weeks. How "messy" is it if you insert it & then get up for a wee a few hours later!?

Not a clue, but I'd be interested in any replies. I asked my MW about EPO and she had never heard of it as a way to prepare the cervix etc.

Ooo interesting she'd not heard of it.

When I hit 37 weeks I'm gonna get on the RLT properly as I've been a bit rubbish with drinking them and speak to the midwife about the EPO and clarey sage and all that business as I know I don't wanna be over due but equally don't wanna mess around with stuff I don't know too much about. Need to get my fat arse on my gym ball as well!!!

So what are we actually supposed to do with the EPO? Is it taken orally or inserted into the vagina? I remember quite a controversial thread a few months ago about inserting the EPO where some very strong views were expressed against it. At the moment, I'll do anything to help get this baby out, so all advice appreciated!
