Have been taking the tablets for about 5 weeks now but in a desperate bid to get this baby moving (pointless really as still have 11 days til due date) I have opened up one of the capsules and made a cup of tea out of it - ITS GREEEN

Wish me luck - Bottoms up

yup, 'tis vile

btw its proper herbal use is to tone uterine muscle - not to stimulate labour (you'll have to try shagging or reflexology for that).

Marymillington - I have tried everything, absolutely everything bar reflexology. I will look into that.

Does taste like leaves, not nice at all

massage around the ankle....inner or outer ..can;t remember which and somewhere around your big toe!!!! that was helpful wasn't it!!

FHLH, Someone mentioned about massaging around the ankle area to me yesterday, DH did it for me but it didn't do anything really, except feel lovely LOL

midpoint between inner ankle bone and heel (uterus)
and underside of big toe (pituitary)
gentle pulsating pressure on each.
but thoroughly recommend a proper seeing to (by a reflexologist that is ), a visit say a week before and day before due date would be ideal. even if doesn't work, its truly relaxing, which i believe is also good prep for labour.
btw also some research says capsules not as good as the actual tea
