i asked my midwife and she said 36 weeks, and most places wont sell it until 36 weeks.
i'm starting it tomorrow, i think if it was left till 38 weeks its a bit late and wont have much effect?

i didnt think it'd have any effect over when you go into labor at all, just helps with contractions once you go into labor naturally?

I plan to start around 34 weeks or so, I dont think its crutial when to start drinking it so dont worry. In contrary to popular belief it doesnt induce labour, it helps tone the muscles around the womb to help speed up and ease labour.
Does it taste like raspberries, hope its tasty!
