Raspberry Leaf Tea

[nc060]

When is it generally accepted to start drinking this and how many cups a day should I be drinking? x

What is it for?

its meant to prepare the muscles so the pushing stage doesnt last as long

I think it's to soften the cervix and my midwife recommended starting the capsules at 36weeks.

With DD I started at 34 weeks - one cup per day. I built up over the next six weeks to 6 cups a day.

34 weeks - one cup
35 weeks - two cups
36 weeks - three cups
37 weeks - four cups
38 weeks - five cups
39 weeks - six cups
40 weeks - DD arrived

Thank you :)

I had one cup(9pm), hot bath and dtd and my waters broke 6 hours later! Could be a coincidence... I was 36wks
