Hi all,
A woman I am supporting for her first birth has 'heard/read somewhere' about stopping her fish oils supplements if she is post-dates (now 40+9) as this may help bring it on - she has been on fish oils throughout pregnancy - and I know all about the prostaglandin-like effect of evening primose oils closer to term (and applied to cervix..)
But, I have never heard of stopping the fish oils to help bring on labour..??? I do know the fatty acids are involved in preg/labour hormones production etc etc
Anyone heard of this, and if so what mechanism is this suggestion based on?
Cheers,
Kristin
