A member asked:
Is it safe to insert evening primrose oil vaginally? 34 weeks and 6 days.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, not yet!: Evening primrose oil is commonly advised by midwives to "ripen" the cervix but they usually recommend taking it orally ; not vaginally until 39 weeks. See http://herbs.Lovetoknow.Com/evening_primrose_oil_for_cervical_dilation however, the one study done on this found that oral evening primrose oil did not help ; might cause harm: http://www.Sciencedirect.Com/science/article/pii/s0091218299000555.
