Evening primrose oil

Does anyone have any experience using evening primrose oil to induce or assist with labor ?

I used it about 2 weeks before my due date with my 2nd and 3rd. I cannot recall how much I took. I do believe I took it orally in the morning and at lunch and vaginally before bed. I don't know if it "helped" or if things would have occurred the same without it but my midwife recommended it to me when I was with my 2nd.

I had both my 2nd and 3rd during the 39th week and both were smooth deliveries with contractions and pushing.

I’ve used it with all of mine (orally and vaginally) and previous labours were both within 6 hours from 2cm to holding a baby. Hoping it’s the same this time. I went overdue tho so it def didn’t trigger labour, just helped the cervix dilate. I hope anyway, never tried without to know if that’s just the speed I labour lol
