Hi! I started drinking stuff like that to help induce myself when I hit the 35/36 week mark
the brand I bought says on the box you can start drinking it from 32 weeks, but I know some recommended later x
Katherine you add me on WhatsApp group
@Abs yes for sure! My doc recommended later! But I think I’d start earlier if I ever have another baby 😊
They say not to try anything to induce until 37 weeks but I found all those things to just be old wives tales, I know the wait is torture but enjoy your last few weeks because life is about to change forever x
That's true
you can start now! raspberry leaf tea and dates do not “induce”, they’re meant to help prepare your body for labor
I started it at 34 weeks but had bad braxton hicks which I assumed was linked so I held off and started again at 37 weeks just listen to your body with it as the box does say 32 weeks but it says online if you experience any bad symptoms to stop and not to start until you’re full term xx
Make since
It threw me straight into early labour when I took it at 37 weeks. It works. Just be careful.
Doesnt work go with the flow
We have a lovely WhatsApp group, if you want to join, drop me a message. We are a mixed bunch so there is always someone who has got advice. Definitely the best group around that I've found for making friends x
