The midwives at our birth class told us not to drink it until 34 weeks - they had seen a couple of cases where some women had bought a particularly strong brand that brought labour on only after just one cup... Im not sure which brand but apparently it was one made in NZ.
Ive noticed since starting to drink it last week (started at 36wks), Ive been experiencing some period like pain, but Im wondering if its just my uterus gearing up and trying out some braxton hicks..
I tired the tea myself and didn't really find it helped me though I asked the Naturopaths at my college and they recommended that I try the raspberry leaf tonic as the tea is too diluted and the tonic is very concentrated but yeah it is meant to work wonders at toning the uterus and provide for a much quicker and smoother labour. I just posted a question in the hope of finding someone else who has tried it
