Evening Primrose Oil

Evening primrose oil is extracted from the seeds of evening primrose (Oenothera biennis), a plant native to North America. It gets its name from the flowers, which bloom in the evening. The oil contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid required by the body for skin and hair growth, brain function, and reproductive and bone health.

At 36 weeks you should start taking 1000 mg orally every day.  Then at 37 weeks you can add 1000 mg vaginally at night when you go to bed every night. Be sure to discuss these directions with your midwife.
