tia - I'm jealous, all mine are green!!

As for EPO - I thought you had to !!!!! the capsule, insert before bed and by morning it will have dissolved. They are quite big capsules (although not that big!) so would think it was just the one

As soon as 34 weeks, evening primrose oil can be taken orally. It is generally recommended to take two 500mg capsules a day until 38 weeks. At that time usage can be increased to 3-4 capsules per day. An entire capsule can also be inserted vaginally. It is best to do this before bed, so the capsule can dissolve while you sleep. You can also use the oil during perineal massage, and massage it on the cervix as well. Applying the oil directly to the cervix will produce the best results, but the ingredients in evening primrose oil can also be absorbed through the external skin or stomach.

Hmmm... so.... for me,

week 34 - 2 orally + 1 vaginally
week 35 - 3 orally + 1 vaginally
week 36 - 4 orally +1 vaginally

and see how we get on.

my OH takes EPO for his eczema and he takes the 1000mg capsules so we have a big stockpile. Will get him to use it for the 'ole Perineum Massage and then pinch some to take as well.

No idea hun. What kind of cold is it?

I can see a problem if you have a temperature and bad cough (that cough will HURT after a c section) but if it's just a bit of a sniffle then I'd guess it would be fine. You have until Friday to get better, so plenty of fluids!

I know, all I can think of is 'EPO up the woohoo!' :rotfl: What else can we stick up there now? Mine is not getting any use so I might start keeping my keys there or something. :rotfl:
