Prepping for labour

Raspberry leaf tea can start now (from 32 weeks) I’ve been doing 1 cup a day for now then will up to 2 cups by 36 weeks. The rest from 36 weeks xx

Also I read doesn’t need to specifically be medjool dates can be any type, I will do 6 a day x

My midwife said not to start with tea, dates or colostrum until 37 weeks. Best to discuss with your midwife at your next appointment to see what they say. I have read that tea can start earlier, but personally I’m going to follow my midwife’s advice :)

My midwife said that the raspberry leaf tea and perineal massage is recommended from 34 weeks and colostrum harvesting from 36 weeks 🙂

My midwife told me not to harvest colostrum until 37 weeks because it can bring on early labour so I would hold off until then in case
