Can Evening Primrose Oil Help Induce Labor?
If you have reached or passed your due date and are looking to induce labor naturally, evening primrose oil may be your solution.
Evening primrose oil is most commonly found in a soft gel capsule form. It can be taken orally is doses of two 500mg per day. The capsule can be opened and the oil inside can be used to massage the perineum. It can also be inserted vaginally so that it sits on the cervix causing it to thin and soften. This is necessary for dilation to begin.
Primrose oil is most commonly used by midwives who prefer natural methods of labor induction to those administered in a clinical setting. To soften and thin the cervix, physicians most often use a technique called “stripping the membranes”. Using his fingers, he will physically separate the bag of water from the cervix so the cervix will stretch and thin.
There has been ongoing debate as to the effectiveness of using evening primrose oil to induce labor. As with most other natural methods of labor induction, primrose oil will not produce results right away. If taken before bed, you will not awaken in the middle of the night with contractions. It could take several attempts before experiencing effective results. A study conducted in 1999 by the American College of Nurse Midwives set out to discover the effectiveness of evening primrose oil. This study, unfortunately, has yet to prove conclusive as the group of women who took the capsules took them orally. In order for the oil to be most effective it should be taken vaginally so the cervix has an optimal chance of ripening.
If you have reached or passed your due date and would like to try a natural method of labor induction, consult with your health care provider or midwife about evening primrose oil.
