I don't want to be induced I heard the process takes much longer , so has anyone used primrose to start labor?

I heard that too I really wanted to try primrose oil because all the YouTube videos I’ve been watching says it helps them 🤷🏽‍♀️

@krystaljanae that's the same reason I want to try it. Induction don't sound too good to me. I only have 3 days left until I'm 40 weeks. I was gonna try something hot & spicy

I used primrose the last 3 weeks of my pregnancy. Taking 3 1000 mg capsules orally in the morning and inserting 2 1000 mg capsules Vaginally nightly. I was induced electively and had a 26 hr labor and I would take that labor and delivery any day over my first born which was 15hrs and I went into labor on my own. My second baby was bigger but I didn't tear. The primrose helps with the elasticity of your skin. I labored for 26 hrs w out pitocin the only interventions I had was bag broken. They wanted to pit me but I refused bc my labor didn't hurt that bad was just long. And I only pushed for 15 minutes with no tear. I literally felt 0 pain in my vagina after delivery this time. I put that to EPO. So I recommend it for labor. It didn't put me into labor but definitely helped w the actual labor and delivery

I was induced and I was in labor for 5 hours. It just all depends on the person

@ttbaby09, yea both of my inductions were short only 6&7hours lol

@ttbaby09 @amberspringer see I can do that but whew my baby is stubborn I pray I have a short labor & not drug out

@k.mommy, yea wasn’t bad at all. And I slept through the whole thing lol

@ttbaby09 okay well that gives me hope

@k.mommy, my youngest was stubborn. But my first labor was fast and easy with no issues. I pushed 4 times and she shot out lol. My second, had a misplaced epidural so it was a bad experience but I only pushed 7 times. Even if you don’t get induced, your labor can be very long. My mom was in labor for 72hrs

@amberspringer oh hell no lol yeah okay that's true too. I didn't look at it that way put my mind at ease I'm more excited than anything to see my baby.

@k.mommy, either way, when they say it’s push time, all of the labor just fades cause you’re finally at the end. I hope you have a fast and smooth labor. Just if you want an epidural, don’t wait cause if it’s put in wrong, you’re screwed

I've been induced. My labor was 9 hrs. Not bad

@amberspringer well thank you for that heads up definitely !
