Confused

To help ease labour and get things moving, the tea is more just to help strengthen things to make it easier but I believe the other two are to get things moving. There’s no 100% that they’re going to help and you don’t need to do these if you don’t want to. Just helps some people x

They help to ripen the cervix apparently. Not sure if they actually work... But it's always worth a try!

Some help soften the cervix & some help dilation. Some things help position baby and some things help produce oxytocin. This is a good read: https://www.peanut-app.io/share/OIjlGihZ1Jb No proof that they actually all work and you don’t need to do any of them at all it’s just thought to help the labour process

I think dates are the only one that have actual research to back up the claim that they soften the cervix, albeit a small study. Raspberry leaf has no negatives so it's kind of...why not try. It's meant to shorten your active stage of labour. I drank it religiously with my first and my active labour was 40 minutes and my body basically did its thing, I didn't push 😂can't attribute to the tea, but it's something in my control in these final weeks that has no harm and *could* be beneficial, so I see no downside except the cost of the tea and the taste of dates 😂

Don’t stress over these! None are needed, as other ladies have said, won’t hurt you or your baby if you try them, if that’s your mentality. I did none with my first and same this time round x
