A member asked:
Should i stop taking evening primrose oil if i am gbs positive? could it have a greater affect of harming my baby, pushing the bacteria closer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not Recommended: I wouldnt recommend using primrose oil or vaginally or orally during pregnancy. We dont have any studies on its use during pregnancy. It is probably safe during breast feeding.
