I have been taking roughly 900mg a day for a few weeks now. My tablets are 300mg, so I take 3 a day. I haven't resorted to putting them up any where yet though!! Might after tomorow as due then xx

Um why r u using EPO? I haven't heard of using it while pg.

 

[frankie247]

I'm taking about 1000mg and occasionally burst a capsule and rub in bump, but not inserted lol

 

[kanga86]

EPO is meant to help soften the cervix ready for labour. U take the tablets orally or u can put it up ur foof so that it directly dissolves on the cervix xx

Tri hopper alert does anyone take epo & raspberry leaf together?xx

 

[BUGGY82]

I've taken 1000 - 1500mg daily since 37 weeks, I did insert 1 capsule one night but I found it was just messy (you have to prick the capsule a few times before inserting)
I also heard about rubbing it in your bump but I've not tried that.

Ooh ok thanks .

Yeah I'd also be interested to know if u can take the raspberry leaf tea capsules and EPO together as I was planning on using RLT.

 

[kanga86]

I take both EPO and RLT, they do different jobs so helpful to take both. EPO is for ur cervix and RLT is for ur uterus so that's why I take both, I wouldnt start until at least 35/36 weeks though xx

After watching one born every minute last night I hope for a speedy labour & am doing my pelvic floor every day!xx
