when is it you start taking it, is it from 32 weeks? i cannot remember lol,

yep, 32 weeks. I've not taken it this time as my midwife told me not to having had a section before x

What does it do? x

it strengthens the uterus so is supposed to make contractions more effective and help labour progress better, but it's not proven x

i have took it every time so will just stick with it, as i would say they were quite good deliveries lol and it also helps soften you cervix too,
i feel like it did something for me i think its worth a shot for a couple of pounds, if it makes labour easier its worth it lol x

I ttok it last time from 32 wks and increased as the weeks went on. I progressed brilliantly in labour all done in 6hrs so not sure if I risk taking it this time
My uterus contracted quickly apparently too..not sure if it was the RLT or a fluke but hay-hoo

I took it from 32 weeks as well I think. I had really strong contractions - they were hitting the top of the chart - but they didn't actually do anything. I suspect that had more to do with Jamie being back to back though

well i got some and started last week i will stick with one cup then go to 2 at 34 weeks 3 at 36 then 4 at 38 do you think that is about right,

i also heard some say they have it iced instead of hot so might have to try as i am obsessed with ice atm lol x

I started with 1 a day at 34 weeks, 2 at 35, 3 at 36 etc then ended up with a bloody section anyway

i have just read you can add sugar to it too, i didnt know that lol thought you had to drink it the way it is lol,
oh no was a waste of time then lol x

ooohh i may try this! does it taste nice? im not a big tea drinker really but il give it a shot if theres a chance it could make labour easier! x x

I liked it tbh, 2 sugars it goes down a treat. I think you can get it in capsule form too though.

What was your labour like last time? If it was quickish, they don't recommend you take it second time round. x

i quite like it too, i feel like it helped me but i dont know, i suppose i could have progressed and had the same labours without it
but i really think it is worth a try if it makes it a bit quicker lol x

i did not like it , i had to add sugar and let it go cold wish i gt the rasp leaf tablets saying that my last 2 labours were super short anyways
