Question

I was okay’d to start using evening primrose oil, I’m waiting till I’m 36 weeks to start. I want to know any of your experiences using it, did you use it vaginally or orally. How long did it take to help kick start? Did it affect your baby? Help me out.

Answer

I got the okay to start it at 36 weeks ! I insert it vaginally because I’ve read a lot of things about how it doesn’t work taking it orally. I just upped to 2 tablets at 37 weeks and so far I’ve thinned out more than last week 😁 a woman on here said to poke a hole in it so the oil goes directly to your cervix. Tomorrow I have my 38 week check up so we’ll see if I’ve progressed even more! 🤞🏻

Answer

Last pregnancy I used it twice and my water broke on its own. This was my third pregnancy and it happened at exactly 37 weeks. It was a high risk pregnancy and the likely hold of me going into labor early was high due to it. My first two babies were on time and late. So coincidental? I don’t know. 
I started using evening primrose oil with this pregnancy at 35 weeks. Only thing it has done for me is soften my cervix but that’s all that it has been said to do anyways. Been inverting vaginally and orally.

Answer

I've been talking it orally since 37 weeks and im about to be 38 weeks and will start it vaginally probably. haven't seen a difference so far but whateves. Lol I'm at 1 cm and thinned out.
