    Hi mummy mel

    I just posted a similar post regarding these alternatives for shortening and bringing on labour... I think they say that inserting PV is the best way but you have to have it up on your cervix (and after the 'how do you know how far dilated you are post' i realised i cant even reach my cervix! lol....) so thinking about the tablets but you have to take heaps!!!!!!
    I have also read that you shouldnt take them prior to 37 weeks incase you have a premie....
    no idea!
    How are you hanging in there btw?

    Hi Princessmya,
    Thanks fo asking, I know it is still early days for me yet. But since being told at 32 weeks after they stopped an early labour, that I could go anything now, is making every day take forever IYKWIM. It is probably my last pregnancy so still just really trying to enjoy every day that I'm still pregnant, it is such an amazing feeling, isn't?
    Still getting lower back ache, occasional period type pain, cervix pain, frequent stools, but who knows what all this means, nothing I bet. I would love to get to 37 weeks. But as soon as that comes and passes, I say BRING IT ON

    As for the EPO, I think I will wait until past 37 weeks then I will start inserting some
