Mixing it in orange juice really helps with the taste. I just held my nose and chugged it down til it was gone and it wasnt so bad.

I did it with my second did it with 3 tablespoons and orange juice warm it in the microwave til its warm not hot then took a walk around the block a few times and had a healthy baby girl 8 hrs later i was 40wks+6 days though wouldnt recommend it if youre not on or past your due date.

I did it with my 2nd. The first time my best friend made it wrong used 3 tablespoons instead of 3 teaspoons and all I did was spend the night on the toilet. We tried again a few days later and the next morning my son was here. I was young and didn't know better...I wouldn't do it knowing the risks I know now though

Its a bad idea ... it worked for me tho i took it and 4 hrs later I was in active later and that night my water broke.. BUT if I knew the risk then I would of never done it my mom has taken it with 2 out of her 7 kids and it worked so when she told me to take it I never questioned it nor did my doctor tell me otherwise when I told him I was taking it ...this was 9 yrs ago maybe they didnt know the risk like they know today
