I know you are not supposed to use it till I'm a bit further on but I was wondering if it helps with labour or bringing on labour. How do you use it, does it really work? Just getting some ideas together really for when I'm getting close to my EDD!

I used it with my first and it did nothing, I was induced at 40+17.
I also used it with my second and I'm unsure as to whether it did anything or not! I was induced at 38 weeks with him but I went into labour almost immediatly after the first pessary and had been bathing in it for a couple of days before hand. It may have helped my cervix start softening or it could have been coinsidense!
I also used evening primrose oil and that definitley wokred with my 3rd because I had her bang on 37 weeks. I'd had a sweep at 36+6 because I was booked in for an induction at 38 weeks with her anyway so MW did a sweep and said I was already almost fully effaced and 2cm. Mind you there is only 10 months between number 2 and 3 so that could have helped.
