So what now ?

[tinytoes]

well I'm 33 weeks and wondering what I should be doing to help myself ? when do you start drink rasperry leaf tea for example ? and using evening primrose oil capsules ?

 

[Rachey]

I think you can drink raspberry tea from 32 or 34 weeks? I got told just 1 cup a day until 38 weeks though! Loads of folk hate it but I loveeee it

Not too sure about the castor oil hun x

 

[tinytoes]

oh no not castor oil , i wont be touching the stuff ! I'm not trying to induce labour or anything just help my body be prepared . evening primrose oil improves vaginal elasticity I'm sure I heard and helps promote quicker healing . I loooved the tea last time but didnt start it until 38 weeks which I reckon was a bit late ?

Oh sorry! I read your post wrong, thought you said castor oil - silly me

I had only ever heard of evening primrose oil, but from what you've said it sounds like it would be worth using, I'll need to have a wee read about it

I've been supping RLT since 32 weeks I love the stuff I drink about 5 cups a day now x x

Be interested to see if it helps, other then that I've not been doing anything else really, other then going down stairs side ways

just generally adapting my day to day things to help- like instead of mopping kitchen floor I'll get on all 4s n do it that way as being on all 4s is meant to help baby move down or sit up straight instead slouch on couch x

 

[Rachey]

I've been cleaning the floor on all 4s too nadine

Going down the stairs sideways?

Will this prevent me falling down the stairs?
