*This is just a question, no need to get all serious about "dangers" because I know of many mid-wifes and OB's who recommend it with their supervision*

I tried it with my first and went into labor the next day. But I was already 4cm dilated and 39+5. I didn't have any side effects but my son did. He pooped when my water broke and nicu nurses had to be on standby during my labor incase he inhaled it...it was stressful so I won't be using it with this one. Just be careful if you do use it :)

I know someone who tried it when she was at 40 weeks 4 days.  All it did was make her have big, cramping poops.
