Primrose
For all who have used Primrose, did it prevent tears during delivery? If so, when did you start taking it?
I tried it from around 32-33 weeks and I had a second degree tear and a tear across the side. He was fairly small too- only about 6 pounds(had him a few weeks early)
Although he came out in less than 10 minutes with only 4 pushes/2 contractions so I'm guessing that's the reason I tore.. They had to yell at me to stop pushing because he was coming out so fast ?
But I have heard many success stories so I'd say it's worth a shot!
It's an oil that comes in capsules that you can take either orally or pierce and insert up into your vagina. I heard it make L&D a lot easier and progress fast.
Has anyone tried evening primrose oil to start soften they cervix ? My sister did it and she had her baby this morning at 39 weeks
Any ladies take evening primrose oil or did with past pregnancies??
Anyone tried evening primrose ? Did it work for you?
Does evening primrose oil work? If any of you mommies used it did your baby come out fine?
I know this has helped a lot of women I know. I have taken it orally from 32w I am now 34+4, hoping I won't tear. I also drink 2-3 cups raspberry leaf tea per day. it doesn't induce labour at all-just gets rid of discomfort and tummy ache
