I just bought dates (I’m on my 36th week today!) and plan to start the raspberry tea later this week or next!

Doing okra water and walking

@Noelle what is okra water? I bought a bunch of dates yesterday and got a few pineapples (I heard pineapple softens your cervix). Haven’t tried the raspberry leaf tea yet!

@Emily is a vegtable you have to boil is usually in the frozen section is very slimy but is supposed to prevent you from ripping 🥲

@Noelle omg i forgot abt okra water! i usually just fry my okra with bacon bits and bread crumbs it’s something i eat regularly so i didn’t even think to try it with water lol

@Annie its supposed to be really good! U have to drink it at least for a week before labor

@Noelle oh so like literal okra? Wait so how does water come into play? I’m super down to try it!

@Noelle ya it makes sense since it’s so slimy (i would never eat it at that consistency though lol hence the bacon and breadcrumbs they soak up the slime and make it kinda crispy) i’ll have to try drinking it though! thank you 🤍

@Emily so buy the frozen ones and just boil them for 30 mins and strain it the more water the better so i would use a big pot! Drink one or two cups a day

Been drinking red raspberry leaf tea for a few weeks now but I’m not expecting it to do much lol, I ate dates my last pregnancy towards the end and it didn’t do anything I’m pretty sure 😅 and I’m not a huge fan of them so I’m not even bothering this time

I haven’t been doing any of that and I’m 50% effaced and 1 centimeters dilated at 36 weeks.

It only let me pick one but doing all 3!
