You know I didn't even twig until I read your post that my DS2 was a very speedy labour- 1 hour and drank lots of RLT from 36 weeks.
I didn't with DS1 and his back to back 3 day labour was f*king awful!

I probably would drink it, I'd ask my MW for their opinion.

I was 4cm when I went in and 1 hour later I have birth. Sorry not sure when established labour was. I guess I started having niggles and little contractions at about 6am the same day.

I drank raspberry leaf tea for a couple of days with ds1 and started getting violet braxtons so I stopped. It was freaking me out. Still had short labour of 6 1/2 hours

My braxton hick are getting stronger too (32weeks tomorrow) much stronger than what dd's were at this stage...
