Maybe I'll think about getting some, but I also don't want to do this since I haven't gotten the okay from my doctor

I've been using epo for 4 days now. Both vaginally and orally. It's not bothered me any, no early labor signs. My doctor told me it was fine. I had an appt. Today and not dilated any.

I use them orally. They are totally natural and just soften your cervix. I have never heard of using them vaginally until now. I haven't asked my midwife though so won't use it that way till I do.

Milk curdles in the stomach no matter what! It definitely doesn't curdle just because of the Orange juice though. If you were going to get sick from it, chances are that regular milk would make you sick too. I drank that stuff twice a day for 3 days, not once did it make me sick. People are different, but the milk isn't going to curdle because of the Orange juice. Your stomach acid and the heat of your stomach curdles the milk almost instantly

Hi there never used this before but if you use a yoga ball and roll your hips in circular motions going forward rolling all the way around clockwise all the way back it should help within a few hours my water broke also there are pressure points in your pinky toes next to your toe nail if you press it in also is supposed to work didn't for me but might for you.

I talked to my midwife and she said epo is not for inducing labor, just for softening the cervix. She recommended I start taking it at 36 weeks, but not to induce labor, just to help make it easier when it does come. I was hoping it would help induce but ive been taking it for 2 weeks and no labor yet, so I think she's right. I've heard sex and walking and bouncing on a yoga ball are all good ways.
