LOL Alan have to be so politically correct hey... drives me batty especially when I have simply forgotten to say something (often!) and it can come across as being 'alternative'!!!!

Ryn
You pop them in there girl. As close to the cervix as you can.

Kelly
Yes I saw the 'discussion' a couple of weeks ago

Good luck Ryn! Hopefully all us Aussies will wake up tomorrow morning to read an announcement about you!

btw.. I must express my

at what to do with those EPO capsules! LOL!

LOL, Liz, you're not the one who has to do it!

**Liz** · February 7th, 2007, 10:10 PM

I don't think I'd ever be able to swallow EPO again if I did that LOL. I hope it works for you tho!

suppositories & pessaries are the best ways of getting medications into your body without having to take them orally. I've got friends who make up suppositories for their kids when they need to take tablets, I do the two of them for herbal preparations I use. So basically all Ryn is doing is taking a EPO pessary to help with bringing on labour.

OK Gotta remember this all for 20wks time!!

*Someone remind me OK!

**DoulaRelle** · February 8th, 2007, 06:22 AM

Tracey - I am there to hun, how bout we remind each other cause I am going to go a la natural this time as well!

**Tracey** · February 8th, 2007, 06:25 AM

I am with you there Relle, I do go ala naturale, just it's always 7 days over & it is So annoying (Especially when we are due to fly overseas a month after bubs is due!!)

WE can hold hands (well not when inserting EPO!)

**DoulaRelle** · February 8th, 2007, 06:26 AM

ROFL - yep we will Tracey!

I went spontaneous first time - hated it - Induction 2nd time and loved it, so going spontaneous again is very daunting thought for me!

**Tracey** · February 8th, 2007, 06:28 AM

I was opposite went into labour with Maddy then it stopped wetaers had broken 2 days earlier & she became distressed so they induced me (it was OK, but I didnt know any better!)
Spontaneous (all day long 3 mins appart gentle contraction all day) then at night it got more intense into hossy just after 10pm, Indah born with no pain relief at 12:31am, it was a way better experience (now I know better)

I even attempted to eat a curry last night, that's how upset I was! (I did suggest if Liebling comes today we could call him Logan Josh... DH didn't like that plan.)

hee hee...Logan Josh...*LOL*

What about acupuncture, have you tried that?

**Tracey** · February 8th, 2007, 07:28 AM

Or bouncing on a yoga/birthing ball!!! ???

**Ca Plane Pour Moi** · February 8th, 2007, 09:49 PM

LMAO, girls, you really are coming out with all the ideas now!

What's a cervix supposed to look/feel like? I'm fairly sure mine was OK last night before I put the stuff in but may be dilated a bit now... does it feel like a sort of fat, stripy rubber ring thing that has a small hole in the middle?
