    Thanks for that - I will get some EPO as well.

    Fletch, love that pic of zane kissing your bump (well, can't really call it a bump anymore hey!!!) Not long at all, I am soooo longing for D day, I just can't wait to experience labour, pain and all, I have never been so excited about anything in my life, such a different experience to awaiting the arrival of Jackson.

    Hi Hope,
    RTL can be taken from as early as the third month. Depending what form you take though. There is the tablet form, which is only advised to take from the start of the third trimester I think, and then there is a tea form. The tea form and be taken from as early as three months but only 1 cup a day, then from 32weeks 2 cups a day and from 36 weeks 3 cups a day. I got this information from the back of a packet I have, but I have two and both have different times but both are similiar.
    I'm not sure about the EPO, I did ask my midwife about when to start taking them when I was 28weeks and she said it was fine to do so, but I'm not sure when the earliest is.
    Hope this helps.
