Evening Primrose? Does it work?

Question

I'm 38+4, not dilated at all :( juuuust a soft cervix. 
I was wondering if evening primrose has worked for you all? Does it help dilate or just soften cervix?
Would it be too late to try it? Aaaaand I know there is an oil and a pill form? Which is better?

Any advice would be appreciated ❤️☺️

Answer

I started taking it at 37 weeks and I was doing it vaginally also and by 38+3 I was dilated and very very thinned out and now I'm 39 weeks and 2cm dilated and 100% without the primrose oil I don't think I would be anything!

Answer

You can take evening primrose oil starting at 35 weeks. It supports your body as it does what it's supposed to do. Go ahead and start it. I do one pill by mouth in am and my vag in pm. I have been doing it since 35 weeks and am currently 37 and 3 cm/70% for whatever that's worth.

Answer

I've never tried it and don't know anything about it, but you're still a week and a half from your due date. Your body is doing everything right! I just came from my appt, I'm 38+1, cervix is totally closed and 50% effaced. My doctor said that's right on track and nothing to worry about.

Now if you were 41 weeks it would be different, but you're still early. Deep breaths and let your body do its thing! It will all work out :)

Answer

I have been taking two soft gels vaginally every day since 35 weeks, I'm currently 37+3 now and I'm almost dilated to a 4 and 50% thinned. I'm a believer, with my first I was never this dilated until I was in labor.

Answer

I have been taking evening primrose oil since 36 weeks. Unfortunately I am 40+3 and I have not dilated at all. I have heard it works wonders for others though! Good luck!
