[cab'o'holic]

When should I start taking it I never had it when I had Luke?
I went out and got some this morrning ready, would I be ok to try one see if I like it or not?

 

[Tina & Gabs]

I started taking it at 35 weeks. I think that is when it is recommended to take it

I thought it was ment to help bring on labour
is it ok to have one to try it?

 

[budge]

no it doesn't bring on labour. nothing does unles baby is ready. It gets your womb ready for the second stage of labour.

I wouldn't take it yet cab. Wait a few more weeks.

 

[cab'o'holic]

Ok thanks ill leave it till im 32/33 weeks I think
Ill hide it to as OH has taken a liking to my fruit teas and seems to be drinking them all!
I have some Rasperry and echinacea tea I take for my cold will that be ok?

 

[budge]

im not sure. if in doubt phone midwife.

i was going to post the exact same thing - i was plannig to take this from 35 ish weeks, but if they are goign to induce at 37, is it worth starting earlier?

I have been having the tea for just over a week now - it takes a bit of getting used to and I couldn't have it without sugar but I'll try anything to have a lovely labour. Funny you should say about the pains you have been getting Nikki, my braxton hicks have been really bad this week.
