I would talk to your doctor or chemist
about that one! Sounds "interesting" to
me too. I have heard of using almond or
olive oil and massaging it into your
perineum. Perhaps that would be a better
idea, as you are massaging and softening
your perineum which is the bit I am most
concerned about!
Good luck and let us know what info you
find out.

Hi. My widwife just prescribed this to
me, so I would say it is effective. I
have to take 6 a day, 500 MG pills. It is
supposed to soften the cervix and get it
ready for birth. I am 38 weeks, and I am
not even soft.
Try it it won't hurt. But don't try it
too early!
