With your first pregnancy most doctors recommend you let your body do the work it needs to

@beccaaalynnn11, did you have previous miscarriages or any problems with your pregnancy? Or was it a normal pregnancy? It’s not advised to drink it if you’re having anything other than a normal pregnancy and have had a miscarriage.

- I asked my doctor about it and he told me not to take it. That it would put me into premature labor.. I had my first son without anything.. I didn’t take any special herbs for that. Unless sleepy time tea counts 😅 love that stuff. The smell relaxes me.
Hope it works for you

@beccaaalynnn11, no. It prepares your uterus for labor and makes it very easy and painless. I’m having a completely unmedicated natural birth. You should look up the affects of it on labor. If you’re 39 weeks and drink like 4-5 cups a day it would likely jump start labor. But I’m just wondering when I should start drink a single cup

- Is that why you’re wanting to drink it ? To cause contractions and labor ?

Since that can cause contractions I would ask your doctor to see if it’s safe for you 😁

You can definitely start now! The sooner the better. You can also eat dates if you want now too, they're great for you. Sounds like a plan tho 😁
