Hey ladies so I’m 39 weeks I’ve been dilated to 2cm since 36 weeks and 50% effaced as of last week and I’m afraid they will try to induce me. Being medically induced is a last resort for me so I’ve been trying natural ways to help soften/dilate my cervix over the past few days. I’m also super uncomfortable and this baby keeps me up all night already !! (Sorry TMI ahead) I’ve been having sex not going to the bathroom after and letting the semen sit in for 45mins-1 hour because I’ve read that helps. I’ve been walking and staying active, I’ve also tried nipple stimulation but that’s hard to keep up with you have to do it for so long and I start to dose off 😂 which brings me to the purpose of this post... EVENING PRIMROSE OIL.

I heard that taken orally and inserted vaginally that it can help soften/dilate the cervix and also may prevent tearing ... have any of you tried it ?? If so how did it work for you ? I just want some insight ...
