Answer

I swear by it. I drank 3 cups a day starting in the 3rd trimester and drank the Labor brew tea the day I went into labor. FTM I had a 5 hour natural labor and pushed for 10 minutes. No tears and recovered extremely fast. I also teach and practice yoga a lot so I think the combination helped me tremendously.

Answer

I drank it in my third trimester hoping for a quicker labour, haha! That didn't happen and it made my contractions super strong and more painful! That's what the midwives told me! So I wouldn't bother with it x

Answer

I tried it with me second pregnancy. Drank 2-3 cups a day from about 35-37 weeks. My labour was 23 hours long and was pushing for 5 hours. Ended up needing ventouse as baby wasn't coming out by himself. So unfortunately didn't help me :(

Answer

Drank for my entire 3rd trimester. I pushed for 10 mins and felt amazing after birth. I was back to our normal 3m walks the day I got home

Answer

I drank a cup a day since 28 weeks. I don't have any previous experience to compare my experience to but dilating, delivery and recovery was super quick. I went from 2cm to 9cm and ready to push in about 13 hours. I pushed for 10 minutes--3 big pushes. I was out of bed a few hours later.

Answer

Yes it tastes funky and I hated it and it didn't help anyway lol

Answer

I didn't take it with my first but did drink it with my second pregnancy (started at 37 weeks). I didn't notice a difference during labor because both of my labors were short and easy, however I noticed that my body healed quickly (I assumed my uterus shrunk back quicker). I didn't even think about the tea helping with that and maybe it didn't but that's what in guessing. After my first baby I bled for 9 weeks. After my second pregnancy I bled for five days.

Answer

I drank it my entire third trimester. 2-4 cups a day. Not sure it did anything.

Answer

I tried it didn't do anything for me
