evening primrose

[mrsstormone]

Has anyone had a successful delivery from using evening primrose? and if so how long did you use it? for how long? and how long was your labor? also have anyone used it that had a vbac? I'm now 36 weeks and 5 days pregnant and my doctor will not let me go to 40 weeks so I'm trying to do anything to get my baby out before 40 weeks because if I hit 40 weeks I will have to have a cesarean. and I do not want a cesarean. please help!

Me too I haven't been dilating quickly but I had made a little more progress today but I've been trying everything else too so not sure if anything is helping or not

I've actually been taking them orally 2 in the morning 2 at night and I insert one vaginally I put a split in it and put it close to my cervix. I really hope this works.

I would ask your doctor I haven't had one yet so not sure. Its a pill like a vitamin you can take it orally or insert into your vagina I take it orally. Its supposed to help your cervix.

Just curious but how do you use evening primrose oil and is it ok to use after a membrane sweep??

I'm 38 weeks have been taking it for past 2 weeks with not much change I'm hoping it makes labor easier.
