I was reminded this morning that I better start taking these. Great minds think alike!

I think last time I started at around 34 weeks. I can't remember how many. My labour was very short due to being induced but prior to the induction my OB indicated that my cervix was very ripe and ready to go so I'm hoping that the RLT contributed to that.
RL doesn't contribute to ripening the cervix (to my knowledge, could be wrong), it helps tone the uterine muscles, which is supposed to help you have more efficient (stronger, more powerfully 'working') contractions, and therefore a quicker and more efficient labour. Evening primrose oil is used for ripening the cervix

I started drinking the tea at 32 weeks. I'll start on the tabs at 36
