Is it safe to take evening primrose oil while pregnant?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probably not: Lots of reported use for this supplement, but i know of none in pregnancy. It is unstudied but considered with caution in preg., poss safe in breast feeding. It interfers with coagulation so definite caution with labor and delivery.
