Primrose Oil

ok, well I'm 40 weeks and FED UP! I started taking primrose oil tonight, 1 capsule orally and will insert one capsule vaginnally at betime...

can you tell that I AM DONE? Seriously, I just want this over already!

Anyone ever take primrose oil to help start labor? Any advise?

suck on the core of a fresh pineapple. you can eat the rest if you want as well but the enzimes that are needed are around the core.

Isabella- I read up last week on natural ways to induce labor it's like anything else there are pros and cons to it! I would do it but with the complications I had with my pg I dont' want to play with fire I'm going to ask my dr on tues when I see him. The other part is there is no way I can reach my cervix etc. I can't even bend over to tie my shoe or get in and out of the shower without the help of my dh! I think these capsules you have to insert and rub on your cervix so ya that is the main reason why I will probably do jumping jacks instead! LOL. Keep me posted I'm dying to know if it helps you! I have also read semen helps to induce labor but I have yet to break my water etc! I'm 38 wks tomorrow so we'll see what happens in the next few wks. I honestly thought a few wks ago I was going to have delivered him by now ! Ha I was wrong!

oh honey, I am so tired too, I heard primrose oil helps but like anyting else it might do nothing too. A friend of mind has been aking it for the last 2 weeks and she is anyways overdue, so they are inducing her. So who knows if it really helps or not.

ive heard caster oil can give u a very sore stomach so i would avoid that, my midwife told me to drink raspberry leaf tea, walk up and down stairs, rock on a gym ball and have sex
