labor prep🫣

Labor prep?? Please tell me what I need to be doing - I feel so uneducated😭

I’ve been drinking 1 cup of raspberry leaf tea since 20 weeks but I’m going to start 2 cups at day soon when I get to 28 weeks. I won’t start dates until 34 weeks because I can’t stand them lol

What is labour prep ? I am traveling now and in two weeks and will be 30 weeks so I want to start once I am back home in london

@Kiera i’m mostly talking about eating the dates, drinking the raspberry leaf tea, and bouncing on the ball! with my son i started at 4 dates a day (stuffed with peanut butter and topped with cinnamon but there’s lots of yummy recipes on tiktok!) and drank one cup of the tea a day and progress as you get further along! by 35-36 weeks most people eat 6 dates a day and ig like 4 cups of the tea, although i never drank that much. it’s totally not necessary! it can just help prepare your cervix

I did all those things last time and ended in a c-section so this time I am doing none of it and just trusting my body. 🙏🏼🤍

@Valerie it’s always good to trust your body!!
