Evening primrose oil capsules to soften cervix?

Question

I am almost 34 weeks and have done tons of research and found that these capsules help soften the cervix and prepare you for labor? Has anyone else tried this and if so, what was your experience? I am thinking of starting them twice a day orally and then after 36-37 weeks I will start them vaginally. I hear this stuff works wonders!

Answer

I used it with my second pregnancy. Quickest delivery, from first contraction to delivery was less than 3 hours. I went from 3 cm to 10 in less than 5 min. The doctor nor a nurse made it into the room for the delivery! No tears, no problems, I'd have it the same way again lol.

Answer

I'm 37+6 is it too late to take them now? Are these things something that the doctors are ok with?

Answer

I'm 36 weeks now and just started them, I have done lots of reading about them. Some people have said that it helps a lot with cervix and easier delivery. This is my third pregancy first time trying.

Answer

Okay so when inserting it vaginally is there a certain brand to use? I'm a little confused with it. I'm 38 weeks and I have a hard time dilating so I wanted to try it this round.

Answer

Anyone know if it's still safe to use these vaginally after losing your entire mucus plug and bloody show?
