Evening primrose oil
Is anything taking this? Is it safe?
I got some of the capsules to start taking but I'm too scared lol

@Stella why?
I'm 39 weeks and have been taking it for the last few days. Hasn't really helped with much. Make sure your full term before you start
Couldn't find anything on the NHS website but the Tommy's website advises against using it.
It’s an hormon balancing and your hormones should be kept as natural as possible and make them doing their job during pregnancy. Plus it’s mainly used for period because it helps to regulate the menstrual cycle or with symptoms and you don’t really need it right now. If you want to take any vitamins or natural remedies stick to the one suitable for pregnancy only.
Ps. I work for Holland and Barrett so definitely not recommended unless doctors/midwifes said so
