hello just wondered why some women start taking rlt at 32 weeks and where it says thats ok cause my mw told me yesterday not to take it till 37 weeks as they have had women who have prem labour symptoms after taking it. my mw is brilliant and very knowledgeable about everything so i totally trust her just wondered why there are so many wide ranging guidelines !!!!

My friend is a midwife and she said no way until after 36 weeks.

I've been taking it since 32 weeks, and noticed an increase in BH contractions - but I think that's the point - getting your uterus worked out and ready. I'll be starting EPO this week.

The sources I used for the FAQ are at the bottom of the first post - that's where I got the info from.

I also started at 32 weeks and I never had BH's. At least none, I ever noticed.

Will drinking just one a day make a difference. I've been drinking them for a week but really can't manage any more than 1 each day! xxx
