I am pregnant with my 2nd, and I’ve heard of taking Evening Primrose Oil and Red raspberry leaf tea to help with labor, I’ve read that the EPO doesn’t induce your labor, it just helps ripen your cervix and if inserted/rubbed onto your vagina it helps prevent tearing. I didn’t do either with my first and im considering trying it this time. 34 weeks today, I read its recommended to take after 36 weeks. I haven’t looked into benefits of the leaf tea yet so I’m not sure about what that claims to do.

Has anyone tried either and swear by it or is it all a joke?
