Any info would be greatly appreciated about Primrose Oil on my uterus?

My midwife told me that in 2 weeks she wants me start taking primrose oil tabs to rub on my uterus. She said this will soften the uterus. Have any of you tried this before? If so, what were the results?





Or, does anyone know anything good or bad about it?





I'll be 38 weeks when I start taking it.





Any information would be greatly appreciated!

I was actually reading about this the other day, I think it's supposed to helo soften the cervix. Here is the website about it!
Reply:I used them on my cervix along with taking black cohosh. I can't say if it helped or if I would've naturally progressed without them. It wasn't any big noticable change.
Reply:i would say to ask your doctor about this.
Reply:And you rub them directly on your uterus? Eew!

Reply:On your uterus?? How you gonna get in there to rub it on????
Reply:Evening Primrose Oil acts as a prostaglandin, which ripens or softens the cervix. It's also useful for softening scar tissue from abortions or IUD damage. This will soften/ripen the cervical tissues and increase the flexibility of the pelvic ligaments. This will help the baby to deeply engage in the pelvis. This early application of the baby's head will assist with dilation and should result in a relatively easy birth, even after multiple C-sections for "stalled" labor. Evening Primrose Oil may be helpful for women with borderline pelvises as well. The utilization of Evening Primrose Oil seems to enhance the complex set of biochemical messages that initiate labor.





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.
Reply:NOT your uterus....your cervix dear. I used it with my last and it helped get things moving. She wouldn't budge for the world and I was a day over and still no dialation or effacement and I used evening primrose oil and opened up the gels and pushed it up on my cervix and I took 2 capsules by mouth and I started into labor the next day.
Reply:I've heard that it softens it, but haven't heard anyhting bad about it.
