Does anyone think RLT actually helped them?
just g/c my baby is due next tuesday and I've been taking the capsules since 36 weeks- just curious as to whether anyone actually thinks this helped shorten their labour/make it more efficiant ?

I took the capsules and my labour started 1 week early. My Mum's labours were all about 36 hours and I was expecting this but 10 hours of active labour later, for my first, our LO arrived. It was sore but I just had gas and air and pushed for about 30 mins.
I then gave my friend what was left of the capsules and she went into labour a week early and got to 5cm dilated at home without even thinking it was sore!
made my contractions more efficient but stronger i was induced with both of mine and i could def tell the difference. i also found that epo worked wonders as well to soften and ripen!!! as when i was induced (2weeks early) i was already nearly fully effaced and 2cm dilated. if i have another i will be using both of them
