Hello ma'am and welcome.

No ma'am, primrose oil is safe during pregnancy and has multiple benefits like relieving breast pain, helping in skin conditions, diabetes, etc.

But I would either way request you to report to your doctor as your complaints started only after the initiation of primrose oil.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
