ive started taking it yesterday.
ive got the capsules and i dissolve one capsule into hot water and add some brown sugar, i stir it up and leave it to settle and then stir it up and leave it again until the grains have settled at the bottom of the cup. Its quite a refreshing drink and i prefer it when its cooled. :D

I took it whe i was last pregnant and i swear by it.

If any of you are going to try it get the capsules from holand and barrat. They are quite expensive but worth it becasue they are stronger.

:D
 
im going to try them soon to do they cost much?
 
the capsules cost 6.50 hev. You get plenty though :) .
 
apparently they help soften the cervix for labour, lots of people swear by them so have mine at the ready
 
think i best take a trip into town tommorow then, will they make him come early though?
 
Bubs will only appear when it wants too, i dont believe all these myths that make you go into labour, i do think its contributes towards bubs appearing though
 
I have those same tabs Budge. How many are you taking a day? I'm currently on 3 a day but not sure whether or not to increase the dose or not.
 
no i don't believe anything gets you into labour unless baby is ready and if it does it usually ends up a traumatic birht.

raspberry leaf tea stimulates your uterus before labour. :D Its gets it ready for labour and it can make the second stage quicker and easier. it did for me i would say.
 
i bought the tea bags on friday, had 2 cups but :puke: yuk like drinking hot water :rotfl:

perhaps i should try the capsules then.

had the tea with my daughter, bought it on the saturday & had one cup & she was born the next evening :shock:

yeah im taking three cups a day. Ill increase it by your stage though so maybe you should think about an extra cup a day.

Do you like the taste? i think its quite refreshing.
 
when can you start taking it? I thought it was 35 weeks. If its ok to do it now im going to go get some!!

xx
 
yes go for it.

my midwife told me 32 weeks is ok so long as you start off with only a couple of cups a day. :)
 
ooh Im going to get some when I go to town. I hope its not too horrid!

xx
 
no its not. add some brown sugar and let it all settle and its fine.
 
can't wait to try it :cheer: ,had the tea with my first and gave up after half a cup :puke: ,didn't bother with my second and that labour was longer than my first (i don't have quick births :( ),gonna give the capsules a go this time and see what happens :D xx
 
Im waiting for mine to arrive (thanks Budge!) Im gonna start drinking it as soon as they do.
 
Just started popping some rasberry tabs this morning, let see if that has any effect?!!! :? The instructions say 1 tab 3 - 6 times a day, I'm aiming for 6 times as I would like it to have an immidiate effect :pray:
