I think it is... I woke up today lots of bloody show and pressure to the point its terrible to walk. My midwife doesn't consider it full blown labor til I have the 411 contractions... I should try mixing them orally as well to see if that speeds this up cause I know these may take some time to work fully... I poked a whole in the liquid pill and had hubby shove them as far up as he could.
