What is it suppose to do? I've been taking 2 a day (high strength) for a couple of weeks but i mentioned it to 2 different midwifes and neither know what its suppose to do,anyone know?

My midwife told me it may help induce labour and it might be worth starting to take it from the end of week 37. A quick google scholar search explains it, but also suggests it might not be such a great idea. Don't know if there are other more recent studies?
