Labor prep?

Question

What’s everyone’s experience with dates and raspberry leaf tea. I’ve heard a lot of good things about them preparing you for labor and I think most women really start at 37 weeks. I’ll be 30 weeks Saturday and I’m wondering if it’ll hurt to go ahead and start drinking the tea and eating the dates and just increasing the amount when I’m 37 weeks? Also looking for good labor stories after doing this prep!

Answer

I didn’t use them with my first and my labor was almost 2 days. With my second, I was eating 6 dates a day and drinking 1-2 cups of raspberry leaf tea, my labor was 5 hours. This is my 3rd,
I’ll be 40 weeks on Tuesday and I’ve been eating 6 dates a day and drinking 3 cups of tea. If anything, the dates  are a good snack to help keep regular and the tea is a nice break from water.
