I tried the EPO, but as you know, Caden was still very late lol.

From what I know, EPO wont help you go into labour if your body isnt ready, it just helps soften the cervix ready for labour.]]> Tue, 24 Aug 2010 19:58:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35323&PID=1134270&title=epo#1134270 <![CDATA[EPO : I used 3 up 1 down from 38W, and...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35323&PID=1134211&title=epo#1134211 Author: Kalimirella

I used 3 up 1 down from 38W, and was induced cause of high BP. However I was alrdy 1 cm dilated and medium soft so it may have done something who knows. I had a 3 hour natural (only had gel) labour.]]> Tue, 24 Aug 2010 18:49:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35323&PID=1134211&title=epo#1134211 <![CDATA[EPO : I&#039;m also taking 5W JoJames...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35323&PID=1134195&title=epo#1134195 Author: J&Ls mum

Evening Primrose Oil

I did 4 up, 2 down I think when I was due as #1 was ready to go but my cervix wasn't ripening. it was 2-3 days and bam cervix went from completely closed and 'this baby isn't coming anytime soon' from the m/w, to holding him in my arms.

It your stage I'd do 2 up, 2 down.]]> Wed, 18 Aug 2010 19:02:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35323&PID=1129760&title=epo#1129760 <![CDATA[EPO : dumb question but epo? ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35323&PID=1129738&title=epo#1129738 Author: amme_eilyk

I did 2 up & 2 down also from 36 weeks.

I went into labour at 40+2 weeks, had a very long labour and an episiotomy so i guess it didnt really do much for me.

I though you took then to help ripen your cervix rather than to put you into labour.

I did 2 up, 2 down from 36 weeks onwards. My boy arrived at 39 weeks.
I'm not sure if the EPO had much to do with it but I had a very efficient 2 hour labour with no tears.
Will be doing the same this time.]]> Wed, 18 Aug 2010 16:29:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35323&PID=1129605&title=epo#1129605 <![CDATA[EPO : Hi, I was just wondering if you...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35323&PID=1129585&title=epo#1129585 Author: J&Ls mum

Hi,

I was just wondering if you did the EPO (orally and vaginally) and how long after you started did you go into labour.

I know everyone is different and what works for one may not work for others but was just wondering what worked for you.

So how many did you take??
From what stage in pregnancy??
And when did you go into labour??

Thanks.]]> Wed, 18 Aug 2010 16:16:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35323&PID=1129585&title=epo#1129585
