Ask your gp/doctor or midwife if you want to be certain

My midwife recommended this in the last month it helps the cervix to loosen or something.

I started taking it when they consider you to be full term – around 37 weeks. am not sure if it helped or not. But I had a super quick birth!

Evening Primrose Oil can bring on labour. My advice – do not use it unless you want to bring on labour
