38 weeks and 5 days and not dialation?

Question

Hellooo. I went to the doctor today my baby is already in position and engaged but my cervix still close. What can i do to help my cervix to open? Im drinking raspberry leaf tea 3 times a day and at night 2000mg of primrose oil but just orally, should i take it vaginally?

Answer

You are only 38 weeks lmao let the baby come when the baby wants a lot of woman mess up and cause themselves to have emergency c sections because they can't wait he or she isn't ready or you would at least have an open cervix im 34 weeks and already dilated 2 and was 80 effect and lost my plug it depends on the baby but noting can make your cervix open but once you do dialate sperm can speed up the process they actually used something inside of sperm to induce woman

Answer

I say let nature take its course 😀

Answer

You won't have any dilation until you have had some kind of cervical change as in "thinning out" evening primrose oil does help with "softening and thinning" but it does not make you dilate. Since your are 38 weeks though you are safe to take it both orally and vaginally, you can talk with your doctor about dosages but our office usually recommends 3,000 to 4,000 mg a day at that point, most women will take two 1,000 mg tablets in the morning and then insert two at night, even if you don't poke a hole in the capsule it will dissolve but do it at night time and wear a pad because it will leak. 
Good luck momma!

Answer

My midwife said to do it vaginally at night. Poke the pill with a needle.
I didn't do it because I developed hemorrhoids from taking another supplement. She said EPO would have same effect; hence, I'm currently 40w1d :(
