EPO question (TMI)

[Trish]

Alana, I used them and plenty of them. My cervix was extremely soft and stretchy and even prior to going into labour I was 3 cms dilated. Tehya's head was so far down in the last week or so it was lucky she didn't just fall out

The use of EPO in VBAC's is very recommended too as it ehls to soften up scar tissue. In a good way of course

From the birthrites site

• • Evening Primrose Oil capsules; 2-3 capsules high in the vagina, repeat 2-3x 24hr intervals
• Evening Primrose Oil acts as a prostaglandin, which ripens or softens the cervix. It's also useful for softening scar tissue from abortions or IUD damage. This will soften/ripen the cervical tissues and increase the flexibility of the pelvic ligaments. This will help the baby to deeply engage in the pelvis. This early application of the baby's head will assist with dilation and should result in a relatively easy birth, even after multiple C-sections for "stalled" labor.
  Evening Primrose Oil may be helpful for women with borderline pelvises as well. The utilization of Evening Primrose Oil seems to enhance the complex set of biochemical messages that initiate labor. You can take evening primrose oil, orally, in the last four weeks of your pregnancy. You should take three evening primrose oil capsules daily for the first week (36th week of gestation) and then one to two capsules a day for the last three weeks of pregnancy.

Don't be pushed into a repeat c section if this isn't what you want.
