Is taking primrose oil vaginally at 35 weeks too early?

Question

Or should I start taking it orally until 36-37 weeks?

Answer

I would only take it orally for now. I understand women get tired of being pregnant but it's just not worth the health of the baby to be born before full term 39 weeks plus. Babies come when they are ready (most of the time.) Doctors seem to push women so much with inductions ect that we feel rushed to have our babies. Patients is the first thing we will learn from our newborns. They dont always come on their ESTIMATED due date....

Answer

You should ask your OB or midwife. I personally wouldn't do anything that may kick start labour that early. At 37 weeks your babies lungs aren't quite fully developed.

Answer

I wouldn't try a wives tale without consulting my doctor. You're way, way early for labor. You're not considered full term til forty weeks.

Answer

I should mention that they may want to induce at 37 weeks bc of hypertension issues. So if they end up doing that I'd like to shorten the labor time which is what primrose does. I don't know where all of u think this induces labor naturally. It just helps soften the cervix for when u go into labor. Usually when being induced your body takes longer to labor which is why I want to the primrose.
