Evening primrose oil.
I'm thirty-six weeks, two days along. Almost there! (Twenty-six more days, to be exact.) In a nutshell, my midwife wants my baby out no later than her current EDD. (There are legitimate medical reasons for this, but I'm so tired of explaining the situation.) She's working on doing it naturally - so I'm encouraged to stimulate my nipples, have lots of sex, walk a lot - all of those things could possibly induce labor naturally, but that are also considered old wives tales. One of the things she's having me do is take 3000mg a day of evening primrose oil orally. She does not not want it used vaginally. (I don't have a problem with this.) Questions are:
A) Has anyone else started off at such a high dosage? Other women I have spoken with started off at two doses of 500mg a day, not three doses of 1000mg a day.
B) If you took EPO, did it help to ripen your cervix?
I have no complaints taking the EPO. I'm just curious.
