Evening Primrose Oil...


Hiya girls...

Read this earlier and was wondering if any of you had heard about it or have ever tried it?? I have copied and pasted the info below...

Evening primrose oil is an excellent source of prostaglandins, which we already determined readies your cervix for labor. It can be taken orally as soon as 34 weeks, and can be applied directly to the cervix at full term (36 weeks). The general recommendation is two 500mg
capsules per day until week 38, at which time you increase to 3-4 per day. The entire capsule can be inserted vaginally (inserted just before bed, it will dissolve before the first time you wake to use the bathroom), or you can use the oil on your fingers for your perineal massage, then also rub on your cervix (assuming you can reach it). Applying directly to the cervix is optimal, but the beneficial ingredients are absorbed through the external skin or the stomach also.

I think I am willing to try anything that will help labour. I am already taking raspberry leaf tea tablets (dont think i will do both together tho!)

Will you let me no what your thoughts are please...
Thanks

i agree--- never heard of it---but found the inserting the tablets down there quite odd-- if i did it i would rub the oil ---iim more comfortable with that than sticking a tablet in---but hey thats just me--
