Hi hun,

im a fan of these too. I used these with my son and labour was only 1 hour 20 mins.

Midwife suggests from 37 weeks

Oh Nik, where you get them? Ill have to get me some of those. A 3 hour labour sounds fabbydabbydoo!

If woman in the shop said to hold off Id be inclined to wait. x

My midwife recommended them to be at 37 weeks, im going to get some i think, like the sound of that short labour x

Is this instead of the tea, is that why its 37 weeks?

I bought some yesterday, saw somewhere online that you could start taking them once you were 32 weeks, but now I can't find the website. I'm confused as to when I can start them - I thought they were just to speed up labour rather than induce it early? So how can taking them now hurt?? Any opinions would be good!

Ive read everywhere you can start the tea or tablets from 32 weeks too, which is why I asked if these tablets are different? Or maybe they are very high dosage?
