Cinnamon Stick Tea

Some women have found that boiling cinnamon sticks to make a tea has been effective in bringing on labor. This is certainly a painless option because it tastes delicious
Tea- Drinking specific teas may induce labor. Teas such as Raspberry Leaf Tea and Cinnamon Stick Tea are believed to relax the uterus if not the new mom.

all i could find though so how reliable it is in bringing labour on not sure, probably like the rasp tea

I was just getting so confused wondering why you'd want to try and induce labour at 34wks then saw it's a really old post

How funny!!! Yesterday I bought some cinnamon and toffee waffle carte dor ice cream. I wonder if that has the same effect?? Also I put cinnamon on my pancakes last night!! Have not had any new symptoms!! Have been getting period type pains for almost a week anyway!

I'm going to try this today. Anyone had any experience and success stories with this method?

Sounds tasty! Let us know how you get on.

You should be careful of consuming too much cinnamon though, it can cause it to hurt "down there" when you pee. I used to eat the sticks though and then regret it later.

 

[princessellie]

ha! it deffo doesnt work! first time i went over 9days and second time 19 days then had to be induced twice!!! dont waste your money lol x

I guess it's worth a shot if you already have the sticks?

I use them for cooking a lot (DH - stop putting twigs in my food!)
