I'm a bit confused with the advise I was given right enough - last time round I was told to we could start from 32 weeks and build up but this time the midwife said not to start til 37 wks and then have as much as I like each day!
It's also good for after the baby is born to get your uterus contracting back to the right size, although it can be quite uncomfortable (but I'd had a c section last time so a lot of things were uncomfortable!!)
Think you can get raspberry leaf tablets instead of the tea....
Also has anyone else tried clary sage oil? It's for the very late stages and is a way of relaxing everything ready for labour. I haven't got any yet as not sure if we'll be having a planned c section yet. :roll:
Oh right,thanks ladies . I too may be having a planned c-section have my growth scan tues when i'll find out so will wait untill then before i start taking anything i think.xx

Don't think it's too late to start at any time!
