Going to start using primrose oil vaginally tomorrow any mommys have experience with it that they…

I have read this is dangerous...

Everything I read said its only dangerous before 34 weeks of pregnancy @maybabyboy do you have a link to a website that has that info because is really like to read everything before I start using it

sorry, I have only read it on forums and stuff, not medical journals or anything. I know what you mean about researching before you use it. have you asked your doctor? that's the most reliable source in my opinion.

What does it do?

I didn't ask specifically for me but I did ask about it and I have a midwife and they are known to use it to help cervical ripening she did say no medication is 100% proven to be safe during pregnancy so it's all weighing the pros and cons and if someone is high risk or not@maybabyboy @nia.fish used to help soften the cervix and prevent tearing

Ohhhhh thank you

I got the go ahead to start taking evening primrose oil orally, my doctor said if it was my first baby she would have made me wait a little longer, I'm 33 weeks and 4 days today, and I just started yesterday. I plan on taking 2 orally a day until 34 weeks then I'll go to three and so on. At 35 weeks I'll start using them vaginally as well. The upping it from there. I plan on mainly using it to aid in not tearing again.

Yeah that's my main thing as well they estimate my baby is already 8lbs and I really don't want to have severe tearing i am 38+2 so I was just going to use them vaginally I've had a few people recommend it and have seen positive feed back from moms who have used it I just really don't want to do anything unsafe so that's why I was just asking here if anybody has used it or got the okay I have a very low risk pregnancy and haven't had any complications at all so far and I read that's the people who are allowed to use it @their.bomb.ass.mom so thank you for letting me know you will be using it as well

My doctor said it was completely fine and she prefers women to use that than to try castor oil or something. Since it technically doesn't induce labor, just softens the cervix, which I'm sure you read all that. I am still always ready stories about women that have taken it. Honestly if I would've known I would have taken it with my first as well. There is however a controversial topic on rather to take them orally or vaginally, some doctors say using them vaginally isn't necessary at all some say using the vaginally is more effective, so thats why I'll be doing both to get the full effects from it.

Okay so I'll probably take it both as well what dosage will you be taking orally and vaginally? @their.bomb.ass.mom

I plan to up it as I go along, right now I'm only taking 1000mg orally. Next week I'll add another, the week after I'll add another orally then start 1000mg vaginally.
