Thoughts on Evening Primrose oil?

Question

Thoughts or experiences appreciated! Had my first at 38 weeks with 5 hour labor 45 minutes of pushing. However this pregnancy has been especially rough and with sleep creeping to a maximum of 3 hours a night non consecutively I’m planning on exploring all options of natural induction starting at 36 weeks. Any advice helps! P.S don’t come at me with “baby needs to bake bs” I am aware of my physical limitations and the pain and exhaustion of this pregnancy is beginning to effect my mental health and ability to care for my toddler.

Answer

Increases risk of hemorrhage

Answer

It’s not “BS” it’s literally facts. 36 weeks is early term. I get being done- I am beyond done. I have a 10 month old and I’m 34 weeks pregnant.  But don’t start induction methods at 36 weeks, wait until at LEAST 37 weeks.

Answer

maybe at 37 weeks? 
give baby as much time as needed.

Answer

This is something you should talk to your doctor about, especially seeing if it works you could potentially have a preemie seeing full term isn’t until 39w. That being said you can typically start taking EPO orally at 35w (normal dosage). At 37 you can start inserting vaginally and eating dates (4-6 a day). Keep in mind that you might make things worse if your body isn’t ready or nothing will happen at all.
