Just a quick question does epo work better taken orally or inserted vaginally? I bought some once I turned 34 weeks but can't hack swallowing them and the last time I took one I burped not long after and got the most digusting taste in my mouth and haven't touched them since.

Now I'm nearly 37 weeks I want to try them internally but aren't too sure wether to or not as its not something I have done before but want to encourage labour to start naturally before my induction. x

I think you should make a note that raspberry tea and raspberry leaf tea are not the same thing. I have seen numerous occasions where someone was mistakenly drinking raspberry tea.
