raspberry leaf capsules, how many at 39weeks?

[threecurrantbuns]

It's says one tablet 3 to 6 times a day?

This is my fourth and I've done the tea, quite alot of it, with previous three pregnancy. This time I haven't bothered but after 3 previously quick straight forward labours and only a week to go thought maybe I should attempt something. So hot some capsules but unsure what to do, do I go straight in 6 a day being as I only have a week to go?

You sound so like me - #4 due at the end of the month and despite being fairly good with starting the tea gradually in previous pgs, this one seems to have taken me by surprise!
Going from 0-6 in a job seems quite a big jump, maybe take 2 capsules for a couple of days, then 4 for a couple of days and hope you're not too overdue?

Having gone 11 days over last time, I'd say go right in for 6.

But I know NOTHING so don't listen to me.

i would take 6 will do no harm. i did with DD from 38 weeks and will being taking them from 35 weeks with this baby. It helps the uterus contract better when in labour and also to make things go back to normal alot quicker after delivery so dont worry about it putting u into labour as its all a myth or luck

I know it doesn't induce labour just suppose to improve contracting etc which could be true given my past experiences of labour.

Either way seems silly to leave it to chance although I've prob left it a bit late being as I'm 38+5 and two of mine have arrived at 39weeks. Hoping if this one arrives nearer due date I'll get a week of the capsules, hence the temptation to go for full dose

I am shitting myself about labour though, and a slightly longer less intense labour is a bit more appealing than my last hour one which was soo intense

Mine are 400mg and say 3 to 6 a day.

Doesn't say anything about pregnancy on them like my tea though.
