It's worth a shot couldn't hurt anything. I rubbed it on my vaginal opening a lot and took them because I read it can help with tearing during birth and I didn't tear at all and pushed her out in less than 10 minutes 💪🏽 don't know if it was thanks to the primerose but it could be. The doc said it was unusual for a first baby

I took the max amount and inserted it vaginally for a month prior to my due date. It doesn't start labor, but it may soften the cervix:)
