How many cups are you suppose to drink ? I just started to drink it today. Not trying to induce but soften cervix . I haven't been checked and I will be starting next week where i will be 38 weeks 3 days. I drank it and i began getting mild contractions... Braxton hicks

I was told to start at 34 weeks with 1 cup and increasing by one cup every two weeks. Around 38wks you should be drinking 3 cups a day. Im not sure if it is meant to bring on labour but it is useful for strengthening/toning the uterus and help to shorten the labour. Im a ftm, so giving it a go. Hopefully it does help. I've never drank it before but I didn't feel any different since starting...also, Im getting braxton hicks, a lot more but they're not painful, I've just learnt to breath through them and not panic like I did when they started happening (I went to the doctor complaining about this but was reassured it was my uterus preparing itself).
