I don't know if it would be the same. I was told that only organic raspberry leaf tea worked and had to pick it up from one of the tea houses out here since it couldn't be bought in stores. I drank it a couple times a day and when I delivered everything moved quickly with no complications.
Oh and no it does not induce labor sadly enough.
The tablets do work the same but i was told you need to start then at 34 or 35 weeks so im not sure if they will work like their supposed to being your nearly 38.
I started 2 tablets a day at 36 weeks. I would have no clue if they are doing anything. Lol. Supposed to make the uterus stronger therefore making contractions more effective. This is my first pregnancy.
Yes, I take the tablets & I think they do help (on my 3rd preg, have taken them twice before)!! Just take whatever the bottle says because they're all different! They help to tone & soften the cervix & get everything ready for birth. They don't induce labour but they make it easier & you're less likely to tear!
Thanks i'm afraid of tearing its my first pregnancy and i'm due in 16 days
