Anyone tried Caulophyllum when overdue?

[nopinkplasticshite]

Am currently 40+4 with DC3. DS1 was born at 39w after a very long and painful natural birth, DS2 was 40+1, laboured in a birthing pool and born after just 4 hours labour.
I have been scheduled for induction late on this Thursday 12th - which according to the MW means that baby could be born on Friday 13th [not sure how happy I am about that but not sure that I'm the sort to throw a big hissy fit and get it changed!] Anyway, we are are on friendly terms with the owner of the local homeopathic shop and he gave me 3 doses of Caulophllyum 200c and said that he gets lots of local midwives from the largest hospital in the area buying this as they swear by it to start labour off.

I have read lots of conflicting advice on Caulophyllum and just wondered if anyone had any advice / positive or negative stories.

I'm getting pretty pee'd off with the numerous phone calls and texts asking if there is "Any news yet...?"...... yeah, like I just forgot to tell everybody I had the baby yesterday...

Tried it and don't think it made any difference! Didn't know there was any downside (other than it being a waste of money!).

I learned about it in my hypnobirthing class and bought some. Plan to try if overdue next week... Why not?

Yes, I tried it as part of the Neals Yard labour kit. I can't say if it worked or not, I only know that compared to my first labour where I used nothing, my second was a mere 3.5 hours from start to finish, at just as much overdue (11 days) and both back to back. It can't hurt to try. But my big tip, and the one I think made the real difference was simply staying upright and active. Compared to lying on the bed huffing and puffing for 14 hours, my second labour was a doddle.
