Does RLT really make a difference in labor? - Page 5

I imagined it tasted like raspberry but so many herbal teas taste a bit nasty dont they. Does anyone know where in the Uk you can buy this tea and the tablets from? Is it holland and barret or do supermarkets sell them?

I am def going to try it from 32 weeks.

I got my Tea from Neal's Yard, its in a leaf form so you have to put it in a tea strainer, I dont think it really tastes of anything, If it was a blind test I would say its a mild tea. I have been drinking one cup a day since 35 weeks, and now am having between 2 - 3 cups a day, it did give my some BH at 36 but not anymore! I am hoping it does make a difference as I am hoping for a Homebirth so it would be great if it was helpful!

Is it too late for me to start drinking for it to make a difference? How many cups a day? xo

My sister is on baby no.5 and swears by it! First thing she advised me to buy! I've got the one from Holland and Barrett and it does taste a bit fruity I put bit of lemon or sugar in though. I've had one cup a day from 34 wks now on 2 cups a day will move to 3 or 4 this week. Its also quite nice cold aswell. Will report back after birth. I also heard good things about drinking it after birth x

I found the loose leaf stuff bit grim, gave me a funny light head. I buy the Heath and Heather teabags and they're quite tasty with a bit of sugar or honey. Been drinking about 4cups a day of late so let's hope it does its job!

Let us know your stories afterwards ladies! I am going to get my tea when I am near H&B next ready! Even if theres a chance it helps I'll take it :-)

Lollipopbob I dont think its ever too late to start - go for it! Most ladies seemed to start with 2 cups a day at 32 weeks, 3 cups a day at 34 weeks, 4 cups a day a 36 and so on.
