Hi girls

I'm nearly 35 weeks with baby number 2, wondering when people started drinking raspberry leaf tea, or any other stuff supposedly helpful for preparing for labour? I didn't do anything last time, and had to be induced at 42 weeks so I'm keen to try anything that might be helpful to go into labour naturally.

Thanks!!

Hi troutpout,
I have heard it is fine 36 weeks and on.
Not sure about any other herbs for preparation of labour, but I have bought some arnica tablets for afterwards to help with internal healing.

Not sure about raspberry leaf tea but I have started to drink Artemis preganacy tea which is safe from 5months onwards. My sister used it and she thought it helped.

I drank raspberry leaf tea from 31 weeks (on midwife's advice) and my birth was quite good - bubs was posterior and it was only 3 hours from 3cm - him arriving and three pushes! Will definitely be taking it this time around too!

I'd say soon TP. Was drinking it from 36 weeks. Dont know if it did much, although did have A 5 days early so may be.

I started taking rasberry leaf tablets at about 38 weeks and went into labour on the third day of taking them So I think I'll wait till 39 or 40 weeks this time.

#1 I started the tablets at 36 weeks and gave birth at 38 weeks.

#2 I started the same tablets at 37 weeks and gave birth at 38 weeks too.
