I took 3 a day and 2 vaginally at night i poked holes in the capsules i put in vaginally at 37 weeks and everyother week i put 1 more in i was inserting 3 and i went into labor at 40 w 6 d I didn't rip though so I guess it did help with that I think lol

I wouldn't risk.it the baby will get effects of it too and can cause them to have a BM in you and which can lead to infection and a longer stay in the hospital wait until 37 weeks to induce labor naturally it isn't worth risking negative effects on baby or yourself

I have heard from my doctor that they can cause rapid contractions and I've read that it's generally not a good idea because of that

I suggest if you start anything to wait until 37 weeks.. I've seen a lot use one cassel full vaginally every other night or so
