    Red face more questions sorry

    Ok me again I will try to make this short. I started taking EPO and RLT as of yesterday. I am having 2 EPO a day orally and 4 RLT tablets and have been getting really bad cramping in my lower stomach and bad BH. Am i taking too much? Also I have been feeling nauseas and over the last few days I have been using my bowels like 2 times a day, sorry TMI. But normally I am really constipated and using my bowels maybe once a week and am having to take coloxyl which I haven't taken for a couple of weeks. Is this signs of pre labour or just general pregnancy problems?

    Renee if I were you I would cut right back on the RLT as I understand this can trigger more contraction action than usual, and it's a bit early to be doing pre-labour stuff. Maybe stop them for a couple of days and see if that helps. If it does, you can start them again at a lower dose (ie 1 a day) and see what happens.

    I agree with Marydean. Cut back on the RLT. Using your bowels more often is a sign that your baby has moved lower into your pelvis. You may also notice that you can breathe a little easier.
