Evening primrose oil?

Question

Has anyone taken this to help with labor? Did you feel it shortened your labor? 
My doctor told me i could take them now because they don’t do anything lol I’m almost 32 weeks but I know some people swear by it

Answer

I don’t think it shortens labor or even indices labor, but I do believe is softens your cervix and is the reason I didn’t tear with my first 2 kids. I suggest starting it at 35 weeks with orally and increasing the dose each week after that with maxing out at 1000mg orally and 2000mg vaginally

Answer

I took it orally and vaginally from 32 weeks on and my labour was 23 hours. Not bad for a first 🤷🏻‍♀️ at 40 weeks my cervix was very soft and I didn't get any tears when I delivered. Hard to say whether or not it was thanks to the EP oil but I'm sure it didn't hurt!

Answer

I’m not sure if it shortened my labor. But the doctor said it made my cervix significantly soft within days so I supposed that’s good!
