I got the capsules from H&B and u can actually use these for tea as well! It says on the back if u empty one capsule's contents and add hot water = 1 normal cup of RLT! x

I'm considering buying these but not sure if I'd drink it lol whats the taste like?

 

[SophiasMummy]

how far gone should you be before you start taking the capsules??

What worriedmumtobe said! ^^^

32 weeks and then 36 weeks for EPO

 

[brunettebimbo]

What does it do? 32 Weeks sounds early.
What's EPO?

 

[Red Rose]

Evening primrose oil I think.

In terms of taste, I personally think it tasted pretty gross without a spoonful of sugar but I'm not into herbal teas. With sugar, it tastes of warm ribena to me.

No idea what EPO is. But the tea supposedly tones the uterine muscles and makes the second stage of labour quicker.

I drank it with my first son for the 6 weeks before he was due and had a fairly quick natural birth so am drinking again this time. I started last week at 31 weeks, 2 cups a day and will go up to cups a day from 36 weeks x

Im gutted i cant take these as had previous section & early delivery

Babycentre.co.uk reccommends starting RTL from 32weeks... it doesn't work to induce labour, it strengthens the uterus thus making 1st & 2nd labour stages quicker. It suggests taking them from 32weeks as it takes a while to work into your system, so starting them later on won't have as much of an effect so I've been taking them from 32wks, and upped my capsules to twice a day at 34wks!

vaniilla - haven't tried it as tea YET... normal tea makes me heave so I'm worried it'll taste similar might try and brave it tho as someone told me that tea is actually stronger and more effective!!

EPO is evening primrose oil! It's suggested to start taking these from 36wks, and apparently u can insert them vaginally too! x
