Evening primrose oil

Any of you mommies try this to induce labor? I know it worked for my cousin. She inserted 4 of them in her vagina at night before bed to soften things down there. Just curious about stories. NOT saying I'm going to start trying to induce just curious about what worked for y'all.

This does not start labor, it's supposed to help soften the cervix. I took it, orally and vaginally....did nothing for me!

I'm taking them orally, and inserting at night (: started last night plus sex and already started having heavy contractions. Plus started drinking raspberry leaf tea today. I'm doing these things because they do not induce but coax things and I'm ready for all that :)

Yes, I found them at the grocery store in the "natural" section where the supplements are. You can take them orally and follow the directions on the bottle and also can puncture them and insert 3-4 into you're who ha before bed! Hope it works for you!

I've looked up a lot about it cause I want to use it too when I get full term but I've heard that it doesn't necessarily help you go in to labor but it helped a lot of women not to tear at all and that's worth it to me haha

I've been taking it orally and inserting it the past week. I'm hoping that it will help little man come out before his due date. I've got my fingers crossed!
