My MW has recommended that we consider using blue cohosh as a means of starting labor. (I'm a 2VBAC and hitting 42 weeks - which apparently is making everyone a wee bit nervous) My dh is a pharmacist and went looking for info on blue cohosh and what he found convinced him I absolutely should NOT use it. (apparently it can interfere with fetal/maternal heart rate and blood pressure - and it sites ONE case where a mom using it to induce had her infant die of cardiac arrest immed. after birth
)
Has anyone here used it? What was your experience with it? Would you consider it more/less safe than AROM?
Thanks!!
