My midwives have recommend I start it at 34 weeks and that it helps the uterus contract, so it helps prepare the uterus for labour, some say it can help speed labour up and thats why you only take it in 3rd trimester... I have some and on the box it says its for pregnancy and uterine health... and to drink 3 cups/day.... I think at 34 weeks I'll start on one cup a day (depending on if our room is finished )
