Answer

My sister in law is a doula and I literally asked her this last week. She said some women start as early as the beginning of their second trimester. It strengthens your uterus so that your contractions are more productive- it doesn’t send you into labor. She did say to up how much you’re drinking as you get closer to your due date. I drink a cup a day if I remember and I’m 34/2, but I use the pink stork tea and it’s technically 2 cups in one bag. After probably 35 weeks I’ll start with another tea bag a day. I used it with my daughter starting around 32 weeks and pushed for maybe 40 minutes.

Answer

I started one cup a day at 34 weeks, just moved to 2 at 35 weeks. I’ll do all 3 cups a day starting at 37

Answer

I would wait till 40 weeks if baby hasn’t come by then. It’s best to let the baby go full term and not try to force labor. I know we’re all over being pregnant, but starting labor early on purpose is not safe.
