Just wondering when people started drinking it. I have read from 26 weeks (1 a day,) 32 weeks and 37 weeks! What is your opinion on it and do you think it brings on labour?

Don't think it is meant to bring on labour, just tone e uterus (whatever that means) for when labour starts itself. I started drinking it about 30 weeks and felt very minor tightenings afterwards sometimes, but I was 6 and 9 days over with my boys, so don't think it caused labour to start any earlier an it would otherwise have done.

no ive done lots of reading up about it, ive started drinking it now i am 30 weeks, i have noticed a few more braxton hicks, but thats apparantly normal. im drinking it due to a pph with ds, and as its suppose to help make you contract better it can apparantly help prevent that happening. but people do think it brings on labour

Raspberry Leaf..doesn't bring on labour but it's meant to help prep your uterus for labour...IMO not worth it, baby will arrive when ready!
