how effective is the primrose? my midwife put me on that and something else just to help ripen me up…

I went from not being thinned at all to being 90% in 3 days

sweet! that's what I want to hear. how did you take it? vaginally, orally, both? @marinarose

My obgyn suggested it with my third since I had scar tissue on my cervix from previous deliveries. I ended up in labor 4.5 days after I started using it. I went from nothing to a soft short cervix and dilated quickly while walking

glad to hear it. you've made my day a little better. I'm not dilated or effaced but I would rather go into labor on my own than have a c section @themommaoffour

I took it vaginally. 1 in the morning and 2 at night. I had my boyfriend insert them for me and try to get them as close to my cervix as he could

I took 2 orally in the am and inserted 3 vaginally at night. it's great for preventing tearing as well. (I only needed one stitch due to a tiny minor tear from her having a weird position while coming out) While using it make sure you walk, do squats, sit with your legs crossed in front of you with your back as straight as you can handle (helps baby engage in the pelvis), have sex (as often as comfortable) and you can try nipple stimulation when baby is ready to come. That's exactly how I did it (plus using my yoga ball) it's incredible how quickly it worked for me. Hopefully you have similar results @serrano_girl

thank you thank you thank you!! I have hope now lol @marinarose @themommaoffour
