Not sure of they are still considered BH or not. My doctor said to call if there were more than 4 an hour or closer than 15 min apart. Are you able to sit down and rest for a bit ( hard to do with a LO I know)- maybe that will help?
Oh that's good to know about 4/hr or 15 mins. apart. I think mine were doing just about that much yesterday. They were inconsistently around every 10 minutes. I tried to relax last night after he went to bed and haven't done much today but I really have been doing a lot more in general. Once the weather got nicer here, I was making sure to walk to to the park for some exercise with my LO.
I'm worried it's the RLT I've been drinking. I'm not sure if everyone is aware of it, so basically during the later stages of pregnancy you can drink a tea that will help you
during labor. It's
NOT supposed to induce labor. Here is an explanation of how it helps:
Raspberry leaf tea contains the alkaloid 'fragine' which is said to strengthen and tone the muscles of the uterus, helping them to contract more efficiently during labour. Research has found that taking raspberry leaf during the weeks prior to delivery helps to shorten the second stage of labour by making contractions more effective. Some studies have also found that it reduces the need for an assisted delivery (i.e. an emergency cesarean or use of forceps or ventouse).
I drank it my first pregnancy (and also took EPO, but I haven't started that yet because it's not until 34 wks)- but I really really think it made a world of difference. I only pushed for 15 minutes, and I went from a 4 to a 10 in just a few hours. I think around 6 AM I was a 4 but by 10:30 AM, he was born.
Well, when I was expecting my son, I remember getting slight menstrual cramps after drinking the tea. But I was just really careful not to drink too much and to stop it immediately if needed, but it ended up being fine. He was born at 39+5- 2 days early.
Soo...you're supposed to start it around 32 weeks, and I was a few days late so I've only drank it about 4 times. But I think I'm going to stop temporarily until I start the EPO too. Sorry for the essay, anyone else have experience with the two? I have experience from my last pregnancy and NO regrets from doing it, but for some reason it's got me worried this time.
