i have been taking it for a few weeks now, now im 38 weeks i can have 2000mg a day. i had a VE yesterday at the hospital and was told im only a cm to 1 1/2cm and cervix is still far back and thick but it is very very soft so midwife thinks when labour does start my initial early to established phase should fly by so i guess for me its worked a treat!

i take 1 1000mg pill in the morning orally and one again before bed inserted into my v-jayand just try not to pee or move about to much for a while, sometimes it leaks out its difficult to get it far enough in cos belly gets in the way but thats why i always swallow one too!

im not sure if it works or not but its all natural so what do we have to lose if nothing else i have really shiny hair lol!!!

try putting them in when you go to bed then gravity wont work against you so much. hopefully when you have a VE they will tell you everything is lovely and soft!!!!
Good luck xx
