Midwife approved it last time and is was approved by every Dr or midwife I have had. This is baby six and I only worry because the more kids you have the faster labor is. I think I should see what she says about if it speeds up labor if she thinks I will have time for antibiotics.

You really shouldn't take it because you are past your due date, it could cause your baby to have a bowel movement which can be very dangerous

It just starts contractions and you need to walk around and try to keep them coming. It works by irritating the bowel which irritates the uterus which causes contractions. I worked with two of mine and I wish I could take it with this one. I have gbs and have quick labors to begin with and I am afraid if I take it this time I may not get to the birthing center in time to get my antibiotics. I plan to ask my midwife next Thursday at my appointment if she thinks it would be a good idea to take it.
