Are there any benefits at all to starting Raspberry leaf capsules at 38 weeks?

Some websites say start small at 32 weeks and others say 38 weeks. I bought some on Monday and I've taken them twice, skipped a day in between as I don't know why I really bother as im useless with any types of tablet!

Is there actually any benefit in taking them now? Or shall I just stop taking them and carry on as normal? I'm not bothered either way really. They've not made my contractions any worse?

I started them at 28 weeks so it’s been a while now haha! Don’t they just tone the uterus so when labour happens it’s easier and quicker xx

Oh... I should maybe stop taking them, I don't want a quicker labour! My last baby was just 2 hours 20 mins start to finish, I'd like to possibly make it to the hospital in time and not for it to be any quicker

There will probably be some benefit although I'm not sure how much. Can't believe how far along you are now!

Who knows bev! I may stop taking it just incase it makes my labour a bit too quick lol and I know! Who would have guessed I'd have made it all the way! 39 weeks on Saturday

It's amazing you made it so far after everything you've been through!
