I've taken them since 36 Weeks. Vaginally and orally but not consistently. My labor was 2 hrs, 35 mins didn't tear and I had my daughter natural. 8lbs

With my son I started inserting two vaginally at 36wks, and started leaking water at 38wks. This time, I've started them orally at 35wks, and after my first check for dialation I'll insert them vaginally.So would you say orally or vaginally is more effective?
