Any othe supplements to help labor go smooth? I also am a FTM and labor litterally scares the sh*t out of me.

My doula just had me start drinking raspberry leaf tea (almost 34 wks). It isn't for inducing labor though, it's for preparing the uterus for labor it helps tone the uterus muscles.

You can start having Raspberry Leaf Tea at 32 weeks. I have been researching it alot because I feel the same way as you, im not comfortable taking the evening primrose oil or castor oil. Im a FTM and the tea is supposed to help labor progress faster when you actually are in labor. So I'll just have to wait and see how it goes :) good luck!
