I tried it one afternoon and had my son late that same night. I didn't poop at all but I did throw up a couple times about an hour after taking it. I was also walking for a little more then an hour everyday for about 2 weeks before I took it.

They won't induce me because I haven't had any cervical change since 34 weeks.
