    Default evening primrose oil and raspberry leaf tea!

    I am 31 weeks pregnant, is it safe to start taking evening primrose oil?? or should i wait a couple more weeks, if i should wait longer when should i start?

    ok and here comes a silly question, can someone please explain how they are inserted? do u actually leave the capsule in ur cervix? can u just squirt the EPO up there and not leave the capsule in?? i think i would freak out if i left the capsule up there .

    Now to raspberry leaf tea, can i buy the tablets from the supermaket? or only from the chemist?

    Heya!

    I'm pretty sure you leave the capsule in, because when I was asking I was told to check if my hubby wanted some...entertaining, in case he came across the capsules lol

    Most supermarkets have a pretty good range of supplements and stuff like that.

    Couldn't just leave ya hanging like that lol gotta get a reply somewhere!

    Got the RTL from a health food shop, i starting taking the tablets at 34 weeks and have just starting drinking the tea now at 38 weeks (worst tasting tea ever!!!).
    As for the EPO not sure on when to start using it, but from what i have heard yes you do insert it but you should wear a pad in yur knickers cause it will create an oily mess!!!
    Maybe you should check with your dr. just to let him know you are going to start using natural medicine.
    Goodluck
