Evening primrose oil thoughts?

Question

37 weeks pregnant here, 2 of my midwives have recommended evening primrose oil but when I look it up, I see some bad side effects like slower labor and more intervention and stuff? Has anyone taken it? Does it make a difference? I’m already taking raspberry leaf tea and stuff.

Answer

I think there were studies on evidence based birth about this. I remember debating and ultimately decided not to, but don’t completely remember everything.
If you’re trying to induce labor i would talk to them about nipple stimulation it can be tedious but studies show it has an effect

Answer

When I got to week 38 with my son I used evening primrose oil vaginally along with taking raspberry leaf capsules and had my son 5 days early! I only had gas and air and had him in the birthing pool! He was my first baby 💙 but it is personal choice as I know there is arguments for and against Xoxox
