I have been told the same thing but to take it orally not v____ally. I am at 35 weeks and 1cm. I started taking it today and hopefully get things going since my baby is already 6lbs 12 oz per ultrasound done Friday. My ob/gyn doctor actually told me about the Primrose Oil. :) Good luck to you as well.

Alissa, They're capsules. Come in 500 and 1000 mg. Insert 3 caps as close to the cervix as possible at bedtime and wear a pad to catch the oil leaks. Not to be used before 37 weeks. Taken orally 3 times a day with meals will also be effective to RIPEN the cervix, not to induce labor.
Tori, umm, don't wanna burst your bubble, but because you're 35 weeks and bubs is measuring 6lb 12oz doesn't mean his/her lungs are ready for the outside world yet. U/s guesstimates at weight can and have been proven to be totally wrong, your baby needs insulation/body fat which is deposited only in the last few weeks. At 35 weeks most babies are translucent and still very thin. How about allowing your little one the choice of his/her own birthday when ready? The NICU is a very daunting experience. Impatience, Sheesh!
