EPO @ 40 weeks

[nylrahcko]

Does EPO still works if you're above 40 weeks pregnant? I am over due and still nothing I am thinning but still close. I know it doesn't induce labor but it helps ripen it because it has prostaglandin. I tried sex, walking and bouncing on the ball but nothing works.

My back is killing me cause baby is getting big. I am desperate.

For those who took it how many mg did you take a day?
Does it work better taken orally or inserted viginally?
Is it okay to take them together or its better to take orally in the day and vaginaly at night?

I did a research but I just want more answers.
Most of them started around 36 weeks and it did help. Easy labor and also if you massage it yo your perennial (sp.?)

I actually been eating eggplant lately :) and I will definitely try it again and massaging.  Thanks.

Anyone else? Suggestion please.

Try the eggplant parm recipe, it worked for me when I was overdue with my first :) I never used EPO but someone else on here can probably help with that. Massaging your perineum is a great thing to do, I did that and kept a warm damp washcloth on mine during labor and I didn't tear at all, my first was 8lb9oz and was out in 5 pushes, my second was little at 6lb11oz but was out in 2.

** if you massage it to your perineum you wont tear.
Do you think it will do the miracle for me?

PS. I dont want to try castor oil and no judgment please. I know if the baby is ready he will come out on its own but I am desperate. :)
