I'm 36+3 days and just bought evening primrose oil 1000mg and was wondering how I should take it the bottle says 3 pills daily .... but didn't know if their was any other dosage and what about vaginally

Thanks moms. 4th baby and I'm doing more research instead of just letting nature guide me. Last baby was a csection and I'm trying to avoid another.

I bought it at Walmart I was originally looking for raspberry red leaf tea but they don't carry it

[soon2bemommieof2]

Where can you purchase it? Any vitamin store or walgreens?

[Peytonsmama]

It'll be something I may start closer to 36. Do a little research on dosage and see what I'm comfy with. Thank you all.

Most start from 35/36 weeks but nobody should start using it before that...im goin to wait til im the 36 weeks myself..should be fine to start now just start slowly

[E_T_D_mommyoftwo]

You can start at 35 + from what I have heard

[Peytonsmama]

So when is it safe to start taking? I'm 35 weeks today. I don't wNt to start labor too soon but would Def like to make things easier.

I havent ever used  myself but i plan to near the end of pregnancy..i have been reading heaps on it and spoke to loads of women that have used it so im confident and happy about using it myself...it helps soften the cervix..of course with every method it doesnt always help bring on labour but i havent yet spoke to anyone that has regretted taking it as nearly all have said if nothing else it definetly helps with not tearing during delivery and makes giving birth much more favourable so for those reasons alone im gonna use it..alot have also sworn that it did help bring on labour too..i havent heard any side effects on it and it certainly seems very safe...i plan taking 1000mg orally morning and evening and inserting one at night,then second week taking one orally and inserting 2 at night and ill probably just stick with that...start slowly and see how it goes for you,dont take anymore than what youre comfortable with..personally i would go over using more than 3 in a 24 hour period goin by what i have read up on it anyway..hope that helps

It helps soften the cervix and tone your uterus

[Peytonsmama]

What exactly does do?

[E_T_D_mommyoftwo]

I'm still debating I took one at 4:00pm so I'm going to see how my body reacts I might just take two a day I'm so indesisive

[E_T_D_mommyoftwo]

OK. I will prob take one in morning and evening and night oraly than when i turn 37 weeks vaginally at night. So how did it help  labour if you have had lo yet

[lurooney]

Id start with one and it increase it weekly...i wouldnt go over any more than 3 though

I started 1 vaginally a night at 35 weeks then upped it to 3 vaginally a night at 37 weeks.
