Evening primrose oil worth a try?

I am planning for a natural birth and am really interested in trying EPO but I'm a little scared! I have heard mixed reviews and am nervous about sticking something up there while pregnant. I messaged my midwife asking her about it & she said, "Research at this point does not clearly show a benefit, however there is no clear contraindications for you trying it either. Some say it helps ripen and soften the cervix." I don't want to do it if it's unsafe or could harm baby but if it is safe & could help have an easier birth, I am reallyy interested! Anyone have experience using it?
