Q about loosing the plug?

[Bridg]

Boo- If you wanted to keep things 'going', I used Evening Primrose Oil Tablets, and put them in my 'lady hole'.

Dansta- hehehehe. The jellyfish was the only way I could think of describing it.

does evening primrose actually work? I had someone give it to me years ago for period pains to keep them under control but found that they actually made things so much worse every period that I only took them for a short while. Hang, if it works for labour, I'm there!!!

I had the common lost plug that was bloody with my DD but this last pregnancy had very thick and cloudy mucous for 2 wks, that was my plug coming away.

sounds like its your cervix softening so not long now

[boo]

Bridg - I've been taking EPO orally but haven't been game enough to try it "down there"! I had an Ob appointment yesterday and he said my cervix was medium to firm. Maybe it might be worth me giving it a go....

Harleysgirl - What you've explained is what has been happening to me, then yesterday I had a big "glob" of it

Boo - Sounds like your on your way to having bub wont be long.

[Bridg]

Smallfryplus- Yep, it worked for me. On a Friday night, I had some twinges, so put an EPO in. Went to bed. Contractions kept me awake. Didn't put one in on the Saturday. Had bubs Saturday night.

Boo- It's not as bad as I thought when using it 'down there'. Just make sure to put a pad on.

[boo]

Bridg - I think i may give it a go tonight when I go to bed, we'll see what happens....
