I've got 2 questions about Raspberry Leaf Tea and Evening Primrose oil.
From what I've read RLT helps tone uterus but needs time to build up in the body. Contrary to popular misconception it does not trigger labour.
And EPO contains prostaglandins (same as semen) which soften the cervix. Again, does not stimulate labour.
I've always enjoyed RLT as the original loose leaf tea (so 100% RL). I like it! I'm currently enjoying my usual cuppa a day (31 weeks going on 32) and plan to build up by a cuppa week till 35 weeks and then move to the capsules. Is that something anyone has done before and to what effect? (It doesn't stimulate labour so not looking for warnings on those lines!!)
Regarding EPO. I've had it for years to help with period pain, acne, low mood etc, years. Stopped when I got pregnant. When is it okay to begin taking orally again? I know it can also be inserted vaginally.mbut from my many tease experience with EPO it takes a while to build up. Again, any experiences?
