Hi ladies is hope you are all doing well. I have had a couple of people mention to me I should start taking evening primrose oil from now as I'm nearly 39 weeks, I don't understand how this will help me in pregnancy, can anybody shed some light on what it does and if it is worth taking, thAnks xx

I've been taking it orally and vaginally since 36 weeks and I'm 38 + 4 now. I'm not sure if its doing anything. But I have a dr appt in an hour and I'm hoping he will check and see if I'm dilated at all.

I asked my doctor. She said i could start inserting in at bed vaginally at 36 weeks. It softens the cervix. She said it may or may not work, but its my understanding that it takes time. It isnt an over night miracle. She also said nipple stimulation may be better at 38-39 weeks. It causes contractions and tricks your body into going into labor.
