Primrose oil capsules
Moms that have/are taking these, when did you start taking them? At what week during your pregnancy? Did you do oral and vaginal? What brand seems to be the best?
Ok! I figured they would be easy to take vaginally. You could probably use a plastic tampon insert to put the pill in to insert them vaginally! That's how my ob taught me how to insert my nuvaring
The pills are really big so u may have trouble swallowing them. There very easy to insert them vaginal just push them up high as possible (do it b4 bed time) because it may leak out u so wearing a panty liner will help. But they want make u sick or anything its a herbal so its safe for u and your baby
Lol ^^ That's what I was thinking, and does it hurt? It sounds beneficial I'll definitely try it when I reach that time.
Are they easy to keep down orally? I had an issue with my prenatals and morning sickness, have you had an issue with those?
Yeah I read 36 weeks is normal to start taking them, I just didn't know of anyone who had taken them before. I think your body will do what it needs to do when the time is right, so I don't really want to take them to "induce" labor, but more to be prepared. Plus like I said if it can help with keeping things all in one piece I'll take it!
@rachaelbutsch its suppose to soften your cervix to help you start dilating, but u shouldn't start taking it til at least 36 wks
They are just pills that are supposed to help prime your cervix, I did some research on them, some people say they think it helped them have a fast delivery and helped with not tearing down there. I haven't heard anything bad about them so I figured why not take them! I don't think you have to take them but if it could prevent me from tearing I'm down to try it!
I started at 38 wks im currently 40+1 and I take them oral & vaginal (got a Wal-Mart) but for me there not working but everyone is different and some ppl swear by them but not me. I still haven't dilated or my cervix hasn't soften. But good luck to you hopefully they work for u
