It says in Pregnancy and Birth magazine that this can be drank from 30 weeks. I thought it was about 36 weeks? Does anyone know and does anyone know if it helps?

On my box of RL tea bags it says from 36 weeks.

I am drinking it like a fiend (am 40+ weeks), it's meant to ripen the cervix (I think)

I drank it when I was 8 days over and it started me the next day. Got the tea bags but had to put sugar in!!!

It won't bring on labour, but is supposed to make your contractions stronger. I drank it daily from about 32 weeks with all three of mine, and had 3 quick labours. May well be a coincidence, but after my first (easy) birth I wasn't going to go with out just in case!
I was over 40 weeks with all three.
