Starting on the raspberry leaf tea... Maybe a little early but anything for an easy labour right?? 🤔

what does it do?? xx

They say take it from 32 weeks to help the uterus in labour it isn't meant to bring in labour (some will tell you not to have it until 36) I had from 32 weeks and I'm over due so don't let anyone tell you it will bring in labour because it won't xx

It's supposed the make the second stage of labour go smoother. Quicker dilation and less time pushing... Although it's not proven... Nothing really is haha. I had it from 34 weeks with my first and I was only in labour for 7 hours. And only pushed for 20 mins/ half hour which is pretty good for a first. Worth a try and can only either not do anything of beneficial in the end :) xx

@babyno2,

I had it with my first @holliesinead and I had a relatively good labour with him so worth a try again xx

I don't see any harm hun. it's even recommended by experienced mums to drink that tea from late 2nd trimester. xx

eat dates ! my mum told me to do if the first time and I didn't listen (she's a midwife) my labour was 30 hours and I pushed for 3 hours. the second time I ate dates and I went from 2cm to 10cm in less than 30 minutes and pushed for about 5. Google it. a study comes up. they contain a hormone that helps you dilate quicker.

@tuftyturtle, that sounds amazing but I can't stand dates! 😫😫😫 haha xx

I just blended them into a smoothie and made a few desserts that I found in a recipe book so that you couldn't taste them lol x

That's going to be another thing on my list @tuftyturtle!! Anything to help labour haha xx

thanks @jodieiokie may give it ago myself when I'm further on cc
