I actually read that you can take it while TTC (stop when your ovulating till you get your next cycle or bfp) Take it all the way through pregnancy and a few weeks after birth as it helps the bleeding & uterus tone up.
I had a quick labour, no tears and the MW said it was cos of the RLT.
Good luck!! | where did u get them from? I've been struggling to find them in tablet form. Found em on ebay but i'm in two minds! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I drank only two cups of the stuff and I was in menstrual cramp labour (not painful but annoying) from about 11:00pm till 8:20am and straight into hard labour till baby girl was born at 8:39am. Rapberry Leaf Tea? Well I am not sure if that was the cause but I would drink it again if there was a chance it would happen again. There was no time for drugs though so had to do it the natural way! Baby was born 3 days eary so it might of been a coincedence. | | | | Status: Offline
