Can I start taking evening primrose oil at 34 weeks or will it induce labor? I'm trying to do everything I can possibly do to prevent tearing.

Question

Answer

It won't induce labor (trust me, I started at 36 weeks and had to induced at nearly 43). But rubbing it on the opening to your vagina can help soften and reduce the risk of tearing. When you're full term, you can actually insert it into your vagina to help soften your cervix

Answer

It's recommended to rub oil on your perineum daily to prevent tearing, plus that's strictly external so it won't induce labor.
