For those of you who were okay' to take evening primrose oil buy your doc/midwife what was the dosage the told you to take? I discussed starting it on Thursday (when I'm 37 weeks) with my midwife but I forgot to ask about dosages. And please spare me the lecture on inducing labor. I'm a NICU/mom baby nurse and I'm educated on complications. I would never do something to harm my baby, or take something that I hadn't extensively researched ahead of time. Contrary to popular belief, EPO does not induce labor. It simply softens the cervix and prepares your body for labor. If your body isn't ready for labor it just won't happen.
