Has any moms used EPO ( evening primrose oil ) ??? Wanna know has it helped anyone with effacing and dilating ? I just…

Thank youuu

hopefully! good luck mama

Okay , hopefully I've made some type of progress by my next appt lol @kmharr3,

@kaylynsmommy, Midwife told me not to take more than 4K a day . Just remember if you aren't dilated or effaced it most likely won't work as fast or at all

I've been taking the 1000mg ones. I was told 2 orally, 1 vaginally by my midwife

Should I do 2 as well ? I got the one with 1000 mg @amh0101,

Okay , I was 1 cm dilated and 60% effaced at my last appt . And tomorrow I'll be 37 weeks so hopefully it'll help me .. I have the 1000 mg , should I take 2 orally ? @kmharr3,

I started at 37 weeks. I took 2 orally and 1 vaginally at night. at my 37 week appointment I was 1cm and 20% effaced. at my 38 week appointment I was 2cm and 70% effaced. I honestly think it's helping, I feel like I'm thinning out more and things are progressing down there. I am also drinking 3 glasses of red raspberry leaf tea a day as well to help tone my uterus

My midwife had told me to take one orally and insert 2 vaginally. I was 2cm 75% effaced at my appointment at 8:45am (December 30th) went to the store and bought it and took it. By 3pm my mucus plug came out. My water broke at midnight December 31st. Had my son January 1st.
