Is primrose oil safe or not?

I keep hearing 2 different things and I just want to know if it's okay to use? And does it really work?

Ive been using it for two weeks now. It help me dialted from 1 cm to 3cm and effaced to 50% in one week. I have a doctors appointment today so ill find out if I made some more progress. But I starting having contractions for the first time last night and they haven't stop so it feels like my little one is right around the corner. I prefer inserting them rather than taking them by mouth. I don't have problems taking pills but these things are the definition of a horse pill
