raspberry leaf tea?

How often are you suppose to take the raspberry leaf tea? Once a day? Twice? To help soften the cervix?

Raspberry leaf tea doesn't soften the cervix, it helps tone the uterus and helps to make labor easier. Trust me on this one, I have been drinking 3 cups a day for two weeks and at my last appointment this past Monday, doc said I wasn't thinning or dilating. They do say that sex helps thin the cervix, that sperm has a hormone in it that naturally thins the cervix.

You're supposed to start drinking it at 32 weeks, then up to 3 cups a day by 36 weeks. It doesn't start l labor, just helps you dilate faster when you are in labor. I endet up being induced anyway but u did dilate fast, 4 hours all up.

3-5 times a day!... mann. I was not expecting that. I guess a pitcher is the best way to go. I'm getting a late start at 36 weeks!

thanks ladies
