I am 38 weeks and have been 2 cm dilated for 4 weeks and 50% effaced. Will this help bring on labour faster? Does it work? Are there any side effects ?
Evening Primrose Oil Capsules?
Evening Primrose Oil acts as a prostaglandin, which ripens or softens the cervix.
You can take evening primrose oil, orally, in the last four weeks of your pregnancy. You should take three evening primrose oil capsules daily for the first week (36th week of gestation) and then one to two capsules a day for the last three weeks of pregnancy.
it doesn't bring on labor... it only prepares the cervix.
SIDE EFFECTS: Indigestion, nausea, soft stools, or headache may occur.
IMO: Your body is already getting ready. I don't know that it's worth it or not.
Reply:no they don't go to gyne
Reply:i took EPO at my doctor's reccommendation from 38 weeks and had four hours of labor and an easy easy birth. my dr. was know as the miracle labor doc too. check with your doctor for correct dosage - it's more than you think.
