  • Hi

    Yes I drank the tea from 34 weeks with my other 2 and I had a 5 hour labour followed by a 2 hour labour so definitely drinking it this time and hoping for even quicker!!

  • I drank this last time and I'm really not sure it helped as I ended up in labour for 30 hours although most of this was getting going and not what they class as 'active labour'. That stage was about 9 hours. I will however be drinking it again as I figure it can't hurt and if it makes it easir then I'm all for it.

  • I started drinking it yesterday since I've hit 32 weeks now! Its supposed to make the pushing stage a bit shorter. Not sure if it'll work but its worth a try!xxx
