Evening Primrose
Has anybody ever tried this in past pregnancies?
Last time around, I had zero progress with DD and I tried many things. Spicy foods, pineapple, walks, stretches, sex, etc, etc. I still had to be induced at 41wks and even then there was no progress so it was a very long and stressful induction. I really want to avoid that this time around. I'm almost 37wks now and have zero progress so far. I know nothing worked with naturally inducing DD, but I figure it's worth trying something new at least. My friend said that taking some Evening Primrose pills worked for her. Anybody else try this and find it helpful?

Re: Evening Primrose
That's a bummer. And no other responses so I guess it's either been unsuccessful or never tried.
I just talked to my doctor and she said it's safe to do so I'm going to follow the instructions and start them 3x a day orally. We'll see, I guess!! I've got to try something. Hoping so bad he comes on his own before (or on) his due date so that I can avoid not only being induced, but also having to be in the hospital over Christmas

Re: Evening Primrose
Are you getting internal exams? My Dr stripped the membranes and it seemed to do the trick.

I've heard that works, but I thought you had to be at least 1 cm dilated for the doctor to do that. I'm pretty sure that's why my OB never did it with my last pregnancy. I NEVER had progress. Even at 41wks I still had only a finger tip dilation and it took forever for that to change even with pitocin. *sigh*

I started taking them at 36 or 37 weeks - vaginally - and ended up going into labor at exactly 38w.
