    I started to take EPO orally and RLT tablets at 33 weeks. i could definitely tell something was going on because I had more braxton hicks. So i decided to stop as i was only 33 weeks. i think it works but I want to wait until I am at least 36 weeks, or I think I will have a way early baby.

    ok i was having a VBAC and took EPO from around 34 wks and RLT too , i was inserting the EPO tablets too (can get a bit messy ) but my cervix didnt dilate till i was in labour (meaning it stayed shut and didnt start to be "favourable" in the weeks before the birth)

    so i dont think it did anything for me and i put in more than 2 and i took about 3 a day too .. so maybe what other ppl having been saying was true for me - that i slows down labour .

    i think the RLT helped my birth as my ctx were soooo strong and the pushing was 30mins and my uterus shrunk very quickly .

    was due on the 18th aug and she came on the 26th , on her own 2 days before induction.

    i guess you just have to research the good and the bad of it and make your own mind .
    Nothing but bubs will send you in to labour naturally , but there are many methods that you can have fun trying ...
