contractions

[KylerDavis]

Has anyone heard anything about drinking red raspberry leaf tea to induce labor or make you have contractions?? I'm 39 weeks and miserable. I need help. Any home remedies??

[KylerDavis]

Thx. Good luck to you as well.

And also I have talked to my doctor about induction and she said she can induce me at 41 weeks instead of 42 if I do go over so hopefully baby Kyler will be here Thursday when he's suppose to

Thanks for all of the advice guys I really do appreciate it. I decided to go with the chamomile tea and the ground cumin. Even if it doesn't bring my baby quicker hopefully it will bring on an easier labor!!

I'm 39 weeks and I only started drinking it 2 days ago. (4 cups so far). Can't tell you if it brings on contractions as I haven't felt any. On the box it says it's supposed to help tone the uterus, and help with menstrual cramps so that you'll have an easier labor, not necessary to induce labor. But after drinking 3 cups yesterday, my mucus plug came out and I was pooping a lot. And those are the signs of going into labor soon. But I also got a cervix check the day before, so I don't know if it's the tea or the cervix check that did it. So far, no pain though!

Raspberry leaf tea does not induce labor. I am drinking now at 35 weeks to strengthen my uterus for when labor happens.

Chamomile tea only works if your body is ready to go into labor. Ive done it for 2 of my pregnancies, the first one worked because my body was ready, im now 4cm with this.pregnancy took chamomile tea and it didnt work i took it wen i was 2cm i ended up doing another mexican tea that had clavos and cinnamon boiled together and that got me to dilate.

chamomile tea does and especially if you add a plant called ground cumin im mexican and thats what my mother and aunts took to get ready for labor and im also 39 weeks and at night I get small contractions but I guess its getting me ready for the real deal should be soon my due date is in 6 days (: good luck !!!! Also do alot of walking and if decide to do the tea drink in morning and night

The tea is to strengthen the pelvic muscle an I believe soften the cervix. But not induce labor

[duraqka]

I heard of the tea other woman experience it and they say it works, have you thought about asking your doctor for induction?

[KylerDavis]

Just 1 cm for like the past 3 weeks

[duraqka]

Are you dilated?
