Question

Did anyone use red raspberry leaf tea and evening primrose oil to help with labor/cervix? I'm 36+4 and will be induced at week 38 if he doesn't come on his own. I'm looking for things to naturally help as I do not want an induction. I eat spicy food all the time and keep doing so, I excercise everyday and walk a lot, I've tried nipple stimulation, and I can't have sex due to my husband being deployed. I refuse to use Castor oil due to the possible side effects to the baby. 
Thank you mommas!!

I didn't get the tea, I was way to lazy to try and find it, I guess that's a good thing! lol I'm just ready for this baby to be here! Im going to start taking the epo today! Thank you so much! :)

I heard the raspberry leaf tea causes diarrhea  (most of the teas do) and that's why I didn't try them... some women swear by it, but just like caster oil, anything that gives you diarrhea can also make your baby have a bowel movement in the womb...

I took the 1,000mg 3 times a day orally... Then I'd cut open 2 and squeeze them out as close to my cervix as I could reach (at night though coz it's messy)... I saw 1,300mg ones on amazon.

@kala_elise, how many did you take each time and the Mg? I only found 1000 mg of the oil. I hope it works! :)

I used evening primrose oil... it caused minor contractions, but nothing consistent... BUT..... One positive thing that I can say about it  (because it's used for sooo many things), I didn't tear or require an episiotomy (and I did with my first 2)... I honestly believe that had a lot to do with the primrose oil... I took it orally and also inserted it vaginally at night starting around 36 weeks... It also helps a lot with breast tenderness.
