I think it's just a personal choice, some women see it as 'it can't hurt', personally it's my attitude, if it means 10 minutes off labour I'm up for that.
I agree. I didn't take anything the first time (well I started taking RLT at 38wks but it didn't seem to do anything), but this time, I just thought I would give it a go in the hopes that I won't go too far overdue again....If it helps, it helps, if it doesn't, it doesn't, I am not bothered and it really can't hurt me.

You are not missing out on anything nor are you doing anything wrong by not taking either!! You do what you want to do!!
