Inducing labour

I started raspberry leaf tea at 35 weeks - 1 cup a day. Now 36+4 and having 2 cups a day. Will increase to 3 cups a day from 37 weeks x

@Natasha thank you! I’m wanting to try these things but not induce labour I don’t want baby to come for another 2 weeks at least x

Raspberry leaf tea might cause some braxton hicks but isn’t something that’ll start labour - just check on the advice of whoever you buy from and they should tell you when it’s ‘okay’ to stay using. Perineal massage might be something to look at too.

I took raspberry leaf tea tablets. My labour was less then 5 hours from start to finish (including early labour and active labour) but might be coincidence ! This was second baby x

As above, raspberry leaf tea and dates aren’t for inducing labour but to shorten different stages when labour does begin x

I started raspberry red leaf tea at 32 weeks with 1 cup a day, now 35 weeks and on 2 cups a day and will up to 3 cups a day in a weeks time. Not starting dates until 36 weeks. I didnt find the tea caused me any braxton hicks or anything personally but they say if it does just stop taking it and wait a week or so.
