Eveing primrose oil?
raspberry tea works much better. it will soften the cervix too, but its much tastier. lots of raspberry tea!
Reply:Evening primrose is a great way to soften and ready the cervix for labor. It's good as an essential fatty acid supplement as well which is great all-around! My own experience with it was positive, I think I took it from about 36 weeks on (lower dose)



You can take it vaginally as well - but the gel caps don't dissolve so you might find they come out at inopportune times (for example, during a vaginal exam.....)
Reply:I haven't used it YET, but my best friend said that on Friday afternoon she got a pedicure, and Friday night she used EPO and her daughter was born on that Saturday.
Reply:I've taken it while ttc. I know that after ovulation it is not safe because it is supposed to cause contractions. I'm assuming thats what you want considering you are 39 weeks along. good luck
