Evening primrose oil

Anybody ever used it to help with effacement at the end of a previous pregnancy? Do you think it worked?? Why or why not?

I took it orally from 36/37? weeks during my last pregnancy, and vaginally for two nights before I went into labor on my own (39w1d). I tend to believe that it helped, but who knows....

  • Idk. I was facing induction last pregnancy, Dr. Recommended I take it.
    I took 1 blue cohosh pill instead, and decided I just wanted my body to do its thing instead.
    I went into labor a few hours later.

    The pill may have worked, may not have.

    I'm sure it can help, but might not be effective for everyone.

  • I'm interested in trying this as well as the raspberry leaf tea this time. Last pregnancy I did castor oil when I went overdue :-q and though it worked and baby was healthy- I do not recommend! Also not interested in medical induction either though
