I took the capsules from 36wks, DD was born at 39wks. Not a quick labour but I don't think I was pushing for too long, definitely no more than an hour. I'm taking the tablets again this time, we will see what happens!

Took capsules in last few weeks. Went over to the point of almost induction with both DCs. Fairly quick labours but awfulpainful all way through. Worth it though!

I took raspberry leaf tablets (don't know if you can still get them) and had a 2 hour labour

I drank one cup at 34 weeks just to try it. DD arrived at 35+5. I don't think it's because of the tea though.
