thanks heva & willow!! :) well i got to go home thank god but i have to keep going back to make sure im not developing pre eclampsia which i prey i dont i had it with my 1st son n it killed me lol.. sooo anyways my dh is getting me rose leaf tea today n im clueless so plssssssssss someone tell me what i should do with this.. obviously drink it lol :) but how much do i drink n is it gonna taste disgusting??
Rose leaf or raspberry leaf tea? Haven't heard of rose leaf. Off to google it...
ETA- I dont know about the rose leaf, never used it. But with the raspberry leaf you put the tea bag in and leave it for 5- 10mins to diffuse then drink. If it's too bitter you can add honey, sugar isn't very nice in it. Lol doesn't taste too bad though. :) they usually have the directions on the box though :)
Raspberry Leaf is the one you want!
From memory I don't think there is a "limit" to how much you can drink, however I could be wrong!
It is unusual in taste which it doesn't take that long to get used to but a bit of honey it in sweetens it up a bit. If you don't like the taste you can also take it in tablet form.
LOL is it raspberry leaf tea??? hahahahahaha where the hell did i get rose leaf??
Hahaha, I hear that's good stuff it's good for ripening/readying the cervix. From memory there is an optimal time to start using it I can't remember exactly when, most important thing was not to start it too early, and you're not so go the raspberry leaf! :goodluck:
LOL yeah i got dh to get it first he got rose black tea n i thought thats not right n told him its rose tea lol :) still got it wrong.. then told him its raspberry leaf tea n he came home with look like dried rose buds?? can someone tell me wat this raspberry tea looks like??????? lol :)
Lol! I used to buy it from health food shops. If you go in and ask them for it, they'll know what your talking about. I had the tea bags but I think you can get it as just tea leaves as well.
Ooh forgot to mention before, dont put milk in. :sick:
Oh yeah gross I can imagine if you put milk in! :sick: Blah!
So just having a little stalk before bed...anything? :p
Stalk again tomorrow...:)
LMFAOOOO u 2 are hilarious!!
thank u for being so supprotive n keeping me smiling lol :) use really make my day!!!
i dont think id put milk in it lol might taste abit foul.. :(
and no nothing much has happened yet (I WISH)!!!
i have another hosp appt tues so they said they might do a S&s.. so i might just let them do it n hope that she wants to depart from the building after taking me hostage for the last 9 months :) :)
i just cant wait anymore even though i should but im just..... inpatient i gues :(
Just out for my morning stalk...
So have you tried the tea? Good luck with the S&S on Tuesday, if you last that long :crossfingers: I think the S&S will only work if you're ready to go too, like most things they won't start labour unless it's time anyway. I know it's frustrating, but it's also exciting I'm not having any more so I'm very jealous of the waiting and anticipation of meeting the new little person in your life :D
Hi.. no nothing has happened yet lol i did a big sweep job at my mIl house today n cleaned etc i got the primrose oil caps so im trying them tonight to see how i go.. i hope something happens sooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn lol :)
Morning stalk before work, hope all is well, and maybe some thing's happening...
lol nope nothing started the EPO last night but will see if anything happens today prob not lol
do u know if u take the epo orally also??
No idea about the EPO but wanted to say good luck for your appointment tomorrow, hope your BP has settled down.
That is unless your already having baby snuggles ;)
I assumed you were taking the EPO orally :o LOL so obviously I have no idea either sorry :p
Wonder what you're up to now?? Hmmm :crossfingers:
Gotta go cranky baby demanding attention.
Good news I'm 3 xm dialated n I'm having contractions so they reckon maybe today fingers x'd yeyyy I'm in pain lol but they did the s&s too
Yay! Hope things are going well and we see your BA really soon :)
Oh how exciting :hooray: Well you haven't posted in here for a few hours so here's hoping you're on your babymoon already, or very nearly!
Morning stalk before work...:) hope all is well.
Ooh Willow, she posted her BA last night! :)
The midwives in our antenatal classes told us not to drink a specific raspberry leaf tea made in NZ because it was so strong it brought a couple of women to labour early.. (sorry I dont know the brand, all I know it was a NZ one).
Why didn't I check for that?????? *insert embarassed red face here*:
Thanks Heva&Zacky :)
:) your welcome.
