3rd Trimester

When to start taking evening primrose oil?

My understanding is that when taken orally it somehow helps the cervix thin out. Is this correct? How much and how often should it be taken? When to start?

  • my doc told me last week not to take them orally...to insert 2 into the jay jay before bed and that they'd disolve by morning.  I was exactly 39 weeks when she told me that and she hadn't suggested it sooner.

  • I am using it for my perineum (sp?) massage.  I don't know about the advantage of taking it orally- I'll be interested to see.
