so if all they do is help ripen the cervix, when you already have a thinning cervix i'm guessing they wouldnt help?

Yep well im gaim(sp) to try something new this time. I really dont think I've read any bad publicity on raspberry tea & or EPO. MW told me not to start EPO until im 36-37 weeks. Im gonna start probably around 35wks with the EPO coz Mw has given me an induction date of 23rd Dec & I dont want to have bubs just before chrissy...One thing Im worried about though is that with my now DD1 I was like 4 days overdue & I went in for CTG monitoring and when MW offered me a sweep she found that I was already 5cm's dialated but no contractions were dtected on the ctg machine & i wonder that if she never gave me the sweep that day if I would have gone on my own? I would so love to start labour on my own instead of having all these interventions ( I mean like sweeps and ARM's & gel etc etc...)After 6 inductions I so hope these help me out...

Thanks Chonny, & in regards to your question about the already thinning cervix im not sure if EPO or Tea would make any difference. MW would probably be the best one to ask....Good luck to you and your upcoming birth...

The tea helps your uterus tone up for the contractions. The EPO won't make your cervix thin it will just help it along to doing it faster (I think).

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

Hi, Just a question about the different brands. I was at New world today and they have the Red Band EPO 150 caps for $12.99 special price but then I saw Healtheries EPO 180 caps $16.00. Would it make any difference in which company makes them? These were 1000mg ones also. The Red Band ones said take between 1-5 caps per day & the healtheries Ones said to take between 1-3 caps per day? Im just a tad confused.... Am I better of to buy from a Health store?
