    Cathy - it was dreadfully hard to stomach but I really wanted to go into labour naturally :-) I used to make the tea,let it cool and either scull it down or mix it with juice (but then you had to drink twice as much cause it was diluted :-)

    I don't even like green tea without milk LOL. Gonna be hard for me. Maybe I will let it cool and scull down LOL.

    Have you tried the tea? It is actually quite pleasant. The first sip was unusual, but after that I really like it. You can add sugar to it too.
    ETA I HATE green tea lol

    I used to add a little sugar, let it cool and then drink it down quickly. It's not great but really not too bad either, I didn't mind it in the end.

    I started drinking the tea at appx 32 weeks - I also drank nettle tea on the advice of my midwife ( i love the stuff now! ).

    We also did perenium massage.

    Labour from waters breaking to birth was 1.5 hours - and very intense! I did have a slight tear and didnt really need a stitch but had one anyway.

    My first baby I had no idea about RLT - that was a 15 hour labour....... so yes, I do think the RLT made a difference GL hun!!!
