How do you use primrose oil to soften cervix?

Question

First, how much do you insert? And when do you start inserting in the vagina to soften cervix? 
Have any of you ever done this? Did it help? Does it feel weird?? 
I’m 35 weeks and just preparing. 
I have already started raspberry leaf tea and dates (which I’m having a hard time eating 🙄) 
Anything else I can do to prepare?

Answer

What is this magic and sorcery we all speak of and please enlighten me because I’m so ignorant and uncultured rn 😂 with my first I went into early labor with him and walked around at 6cm dilated for 4 weeks so I never did any of this stuff

Answer

Other ways to prepare: sex (no pullout method), squats, Spinning Babies exercises, yoga squats, TVA breathing, hip circles and figure 8s on a yoga ball, pelvic tilts.

Answer

Of your 35 weeks then start orally, one in the morning and One at night. At 37 weeks start inserting both pills right before bed cause they leak out. Wear a liner to bed cause you can get a surprise when you get up lol and no it doesn’t feel weird. Sometimes it increases my Braxton Hicks at night.

Answer

My midwife said at 37 weeks take 1 by mouth in the am and 1 in the PM, at 38 add one inserted. Either 1000 or 1300. Can add a third by mouth too. Idk it sounds like a crap shoot from reading online 😂 I'm trying everything this time, I was 41.5 and had to be induced with my first

Answer

My midwife said “if you use evening primrose for only the last 5 weeks of pregnancy, you may take two 1,000mg capsules orally during the day, and if you desire, insert one into the vagina near the cervix over night” 
I decided to put the capsule inside my menstrual cup so it is RIGHT on my cervix and doesn’t leak out.
