Evening Primrose Oil?

Question

Hey everyone! I'm currently 37 weeks and my midwife suggested I start taking evening primrose oil (one capsule a day for now, orally) and I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with this? 
I picked some up but I'm a little on the fence, I am not trying to induce as I'm okay with this little guy staying in as long as he needs to, but she said it would just help the natural process.

Answer

I actually did Third Trimester Tea I found online with my last pregnancy. It had red raspberry leaf and evening primrose in it. It didn’t induce me but I think it may have made the whole process faster. It’s just supposed to help your body get ready or something. I drank the tea every ugh today for over a week before I went into labor. I delivered at 39 weeks.

Answer

I did the primrose oil every night orally and vaginally starting at 37 weeks. I had a great 2.5 hour natural labor with my first. I don’t know if it was the EPO and Raspberry tea that helped me dilate fast and make my contractions work quicker but I’m definitely doing both again when I reach 37 weeks
