Question

Has anybody tried primrose oil or raspberry leaf tea to help get cervix ready ? If so how was it for you and how did u use it ???

Answer

I honestly think evening primrose oil helped my cervix thin and dilate. At 36 weeks I was 1 cm and 50% effaced. 37 I was the exact same. I started taking 3000 mg orally daily and used it a couple times vaginally. At 38 weeks I was 2 cm and 70%. I’m being induced in the morning at 39 weeks so I can update you on what I’m at when they check me. This is my first baby.

Answer

I’ve been drinking 1 cup of raspberry leaf tea since 37 weeks, and am upping it to 2 cups a day today (37+5). I’ll continue with 2 until I give birth... I don’t like it enough to want to drink any more than that. 🙈 
And I’ve been taking 2,000mg of evening primrose oil orally each day since 37 weeks, and will up it to 3,000mg today (orally), and then 4,000mg (orally) at 39 weeks. 
It’s probably just a coincidence but I’ve been having prodromal labour contractions for the past 3 days varying between 15mins apart and 3 minutes apart. Upping all the dosages in the hope that I won’t experience these contractions for weeks before I start any kind of progressive labour. 
Good luck!! x
