Kyra - My MW has just told me that evening primrose oil is great for softening the cervix and she recommends it from 38 weeks.. You use 1000mg capsules and on the first night you take 2 tablets and (TMI warning) insert the other 1 and then the next night you take 1 and insert 2.. Add a panty liner or normal pad when you go to bed cause it has a bit of seepage.. I thought it was funny that my MW said to do it only if i'm comfortable with inserting stuff like that and then i pointed out that as in IVF'er we've had to do worse things.. It's really not bad, and she said it acts like prostoglandins to soften and ripen your cervix... I'm happy to do whatever is going to help at this point... You're not far off yourself so goodluck to you.. you might even pop before I do...
Lise - It is super exciting but trying to keep excitement in check as much as possible so it doesn't over take me.. I am analysing evey twinge to work out if contractions are starting but we could be in for another 3 weeks of waiting too...
I hope everyone is well and enjoy it all I say..
