Was wondering..I bought these to start taking at 36wks, I am now planning on a elcs, Should I take these or not?

Think I shouldn't but honestly brain not functioning well in this heat.

If you're planning an elected c I wouldn't bother. Raspberry leaf is meant to soften the cervix and make it easier to open and then get the baby through. If you're a having a sunroof there's no need to soften the cervix

No, what is the point if you are having an elcs?

Apparently, though, they are also really good at stimulating (not sure that is the right word!!?) breast milk supply too. So may be worth taking if you plan on breast feeding?

Leave them be unless you want to bring on labour...as alibaba says no point with elcs.Never heard it refered to as a "sunroof", made me laugh...Perhaps I'm easily amused.
