I've been drinking about 1.5-2 litres of it a day, iced, I would say its fairly strong. My dr said that's fine, knock myself out, its not going to hurt me or the baby. First do no harm, right?

Nothing like a cuddle from DD after a hard day's work!
I am not sure if its the RLT or not, but Ive been waking up at least 3 times at night with tummy cramps, and the only way to get rid of them was to go empty my bowels (sorry for TMI). I started taking them on Friday, stopped yesterday but last night stll had the same symptoms.

Janie thanks i didn't even think to post in there! I shall try that.
Bellelass well I am hoping it can do no harm, I figure it won't, but i don't want to drink too much and end up in early labour. Not sure if this can happen but want some facts first. Thanks for your input
Phoenixml i have no idea if its the RLT or not but i guess if you don't drink it again today and it still happens then maybe its not the tea and just your body getting ready??? Not sure. but thanks for posting
Well i shall try taht other thread now.
Cheers

Phoenix - I've been getting a bit of that too... reckon it's just my body getting ready. How far along are you?
I'm now on the tablets as I couldn't find the teabags locally... trying to find the right dosage for me at the moment...

Phoenix - yes, seriously! I've had a lot of wind (sorry - TMI) and my 'movements' have become crampy and somewhat uncomfortable/painful right before needing to go.
I haven't necessarily been getting up in the night with it, but when needing to go, I get quite crampy - like you described.
I just figured it was bubs leaning on my digestive system!
That's not to say it's not the RLT - maybe it is, but I thought you'd like to know that you're not the only one! And I've been taking the RLT for weeks now and this has only started happening in the last week or so...
Hope it improves for you soon. Maybe we need a bit more fibre and water to help us out?
