Still drinking red raspberry leaf tea?

Question

Is anyone still drinking RRL tea? Thought my baby would be be here by now and just finished my second box. I had upped it to two cups this last week (week 39-40). Debating if I should get another box. Is anyone else still drinking it ? How much did you drink when you were overdue ? Any benefits to drinking it once baby arrives ?(I don't think so 🙄)

Answer

The cause of the tea does not make you go into labor 
In only soften up the cervix for a faster progress but it does not bring on labor. It only help make Labor easier I have been drinking it for two weeks now still am and it hasn't help me at all. But I am still drinking it til their gone after that I am not buying no more. I'll be 39 weeks few days 
And honestly gonna try castor oil if it works great if it don't then great at least I know I won't be going over 
Being my 4th I don't go past my due date only trying to to avoid being induce and see if she will come on her own. 
Good luck

Ive been drinking it.  I'm 40+5 and just started having contractions today.  My midwife recommended inserting 3 evening primrose oil capsules at night (wear a pad cuz its oil and can leak. Empty a tampon applicator to get them up there really well) to help soften the cervix and get everything ready.  I've been doing this the last 3 nights and I think it helped.

Answer

I started drinking it at 38 weeks and tomorrow I'm 40 weeks, 24oz a day. No signs of labor yet but 60% effaced so I guess it's doing its job!

Answer

Its good to drink for 2 weeks after birth too as it helps your uterus shrink back faster and easier
