Week 36: Take one capsule daily, (preferably at about the same time each day). Week 37: Take two capsules daily, (one in the morning and one in the evening). Week: 38: Take four capsules daily, (two in the morning and two in the evening). Week 39: Take five capsules daily, (one in am, one at lunch, one mid-afternoon, one in the evening, one at bedtime).

Sophie its meant to strengthen your uterus in preparion for labour!

I thought you were not supposed to take it until 37 weeks as it can bring on labour in some cases?

I took it last time from 37 weeks, i drank the tea instead of having the capsules, found it quite nice!

Not that it benefitted me at all last time as i ended up with an emergency c-section but as im hoping for a vaginal birth this time ill start taking it again from 37 weeks !

my book said you should drink the tea from 32 weeks onwards, 3 cups a day.

that is what I did, but not constantly as sometimes I forgot!

so far no early labour signs.

however I do not know what amount of tea equals a capsule, sorry.

Ive order the tea - I like flavoured teas so I'll probbaly like this.

A lot of uk (co.uk) sites say 34 so I'm going to go with that.

I drank the tea and took the capsules. Because I'd started later taking it with DS (near 36 weeks), I was silly and was drinking 3 superstrength cups a day and taking 8 tablets and he was early. Still wonder if it was the RLT!!
Much prefer the way I did it with DD and built up gradually, it did make my braxton hicks loads stronger though, they used to take my breath away and I'd get them everytime I moved around.
