I know there has been a lot of talk about this oil recently. Have any of you moms began using it this pregnancy? If so, did it work for any of you ladies yet? Thanks!

    I used it the first time & I'm doing it again this time, I'm hoping it helps me "get stretchy" as my MW said with my first pg.  I didn't tear the first time so I'm hoping that's what helped...

    I have taken one pill at bedtime for the last three nights. No news yet, other than some cervical cramping which I hope indicates effacement.

    I've been taking one orally 2x/day since 35 weeks and one as a suppository at night since 37 weeks. I've progressed further than I ever did with DD1.

    I bought a jar, but have no idea how to use it.  What are people doing for their schedules?  How often?  How many mg?

    It's one of those things that's hard to really know how much difference it makes. It could soften your cervix and aid dilation, OR you could have softened and dilated without it; no way to tell really. 

    THAT SAID, I have been taking 2 pills orally at bed for a week now, and will start taking it vaginally at 38 weeks. I did it in my last pregnancies also, and had a soft cervix by the end.

    I haven't tried it before, but am this pregnancy. I started with one oral pill 1,000mg at 36 weeks and added in a second oral pill at 37 weeks. Tomorrow when I hit 38 weeks I'll do the two oral and add a vaginal one at bedtime.
