Okay so I went for my 36 week checkup and my midwife said I still haven't dilated but I'm effaced 
so she recommended the red raspberry leaf tea, chamomile tea and the evening primrose? I'm just wondering has this actually helped anyone. I also have to add I've had a very complicated last few months with this pregnancy where LO wants to come early he's been trying to come since 32 weeks and every time they manage to stop it. This last time they didn't want to stop the contractions to see if I dilate but still nothing . My due date is June 10th but the dr scheduled a csection for June 2 if I don't have him by then because they say my fluids will run out by then

I am hoping this thread can die now, and you can use those threads if you have additional questions.
ETA: And subsequent comment(er)s can also use those threads, as relevant.
I'm scheduled for a c/s on June second...at least i am in the morning, so hopefully I'll be in the hospital before the crazies come out...It also seems that thunderstorms (drops in preassure0 trigger a lot of women to go into labor.
As for OP question, i tried evening primrose with my first (orally) and it did nothing for me...women in my family don't dilate (highest level of pitocin they could give me and I only got to 5.5 cm and 60% before having an emergency c/s with DS 1). I heard you can insert it, but I don't have experience with that or the teas.
GL!
