I forgot to start taking them until this week (38 weeks tomorrow) - ooops. talk about baby brain.

I've found a couple of sources all which give different guidelines:
- 4 x 300 mg tablets (or 3 x 400 mg tablets), 2 to 3 times a day with meals from 32 weeks. (birth.com.au)
- 2 x 300mg or 400mg tablets with each meal (three times a day) from 32 weeks. (pregnancy.com.au)

Compared to blackmores packaging which suggests 3 tablets 4-5 times per day! That's a huge discrepancy between recommended doses - anywhere from 1800mg to 4500mg per day!!

I asked my naturopath, who told me that the strength of one 300mg tablet compared to another brand may vary depending on where the leaf is sourced and the extraction method used. He recommends the tea for his clients, but was not able to give me a recommended 'standard' dose for the tablets. He also told me the optimum dose may vary depending on the individual. As far as I am aware, there is no documented 'unsafe' dose for RL in the third trimester, but there is research which suggests that low doses may only provide limited benefit. (So, in other words, no idea!)

BTW, is anyone else finding that it turns their urine bright yellow!?
