Evening primrose oil

I don't care to hear that I should wait., my midwife told me try out evening primrose oil. Has anyone tried it? What happened?

Evening primrose oil is a vitamin they sell at a vitamin store its a gel capsule you take three a day some women also insert one in there down stairs and break one open and rub your cervix woth it. I hear it isn't used to induce labor it just make delivery easier, faster

I am using primrose oil, am 39 weeks 5 days and been using it for bout 2 weeks nothing is happening am just hoping not to tear this time and hoping that the first stages of labour are easier through using it xx

Yes I am 37 weeks 2cm & 70% and in active labor because I have contractioms that will not go away. But yes I heard it makes delivery easier

Hi I used it starting al about 39 weeks. It didn't work right away but I do think it helped. when I went in to labor I had a fast easy labor about 6 hours and it was my first child. it certainly didn't hurt. good luck  . my midwife also recommended this to me so I don't think there is anything wrong with  doing this as long as your full term.
