    1 - 2 tabs a day seems so much less than the rec'd dose of Blackmores of 12 - 15 a day! I only bought them as they were on special at my health food shop. I took gel cap ones last time and they were so much easier to swallow.

    Hiya,

    RLT is meant to 'ripen' the cervix by toning muscles around it. It is said to strengthen the effeciency of contractions by making contraction stronger therefore quicker labour. As with most things- the jury is still out as to whether it works or not- but hey- anything that 'could' ease my labour is welcomed with open arms in my world...lol
    I'm almost 38 weeks so not long now (hopefully) so I will report back my findings...lol

    hmmmm I was just going to buy some raspberry leaf and make a tea out it (or purchase a ready made tea) and had have 1-2 cups per day, it sounds like you need to take heaps of tablets? How soon before you due date should you start taking the raspberry anyway?

    OK just posted on this thread and found this other one which answered all my questions. Here it is for anyone who's interested
