They did NOTHING with my daughter, so I figured it wouldn't do anything. I was wrong! My water broke at 37 weeks 1 day. I don't remember when I started taking it, but it worked with him! (And, I read up on it afterwards, EPO really just softens the cervix and can break waters, but not really put you into labor, which is what happened to me. My water broke and from the time my water broke to my csection, not ONE contraction! I wasn't in labor, my water just broke)<br /> I didn't take it orally though. So maybe that makes a difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-epo-at-the-end-of-pregnancy#post-2229746 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 07:33:39 +0000 Foodnerd81 2229746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Went into labor two days before my due date. Since everyone says first babies are always late, I totally wasn't expecting her until after my due date anyway and wasn't in a rush (full term pregnancy was way more comfortable than first trimester for me). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-epo-at-the-end-of-pregnancy#post-2229744 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 07:29:49 +0000 mrsjyw 2229744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started taking a few evening primrose oil pills here and there with DS1. I was never consistent with it though. I didn't go into labor until 40+2.</p> <p>I have some now that I'm contemplating taking orally. </p>
