primrose oil tablets

I'm 38+1 weeks pregnant. I'm still just dilated to a one and not thinning so my doctor told me to take primrose oil tablets orally 4 times a day. 2 in the morning and 2 at night. I was wondering how many mom's have used it and how fast did it work to thin you out so you were able to dilate faster?

They are slow working you have to start them at 36 weeks they can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 4 weeks. They are not an instant thing to put you into labor
