Is it too late for dates, raspberry leaf tea (in the form of tablets) and also how many nappies do I need at home!? Starting to panic slightly 🫠

I started drinking raspberry leaf tea at 36 weeks and gave birth a week later 🙈

I started dates from around 34 weeks and raspberry leaf tea from 37 weeks. I don’t think it really matters to be honest but you might as well give it a go. Who knows?! ❤️

No, I think one of them is recommended from 36 weeks and the other at 37
I'd recommend both, and perineal massage too.
As for nappies, it depends how often you shop. We've been home from hospital since Friday and we're still on the first pack of nappies (Fred and flo newborn it's a decent size pack)

Never too late to start using RLT.. and nappies in the hundreds if you have no one to go to the shops for you but if you do then I’d say roughly an average of like 10-12 nappies a day

Can't help on raspberry leaf tea or dates as I went to my due date last pregnancy & looks like I'll do the same this time round as I've got 3 days to go 😂
Nappies I brought a box of 80 size 1 pampers, and I've just ordered 108 of pampers off amazon.
My mum brought be a small pack of size 0, baby is measuring around 7lb5 but I'm taking that with a pinch of salt, as our last was measuring 9-10lb and he was under 8lb

I wouldn't buy too many nappies straight away (if it's not too hard to get to a shop where you are), just because you don't know what size baby will come out as. You could have a bigger bub who's barely in first size for 5 minutes, then you're stuck with all the nappies!
Thank you ladies! Will start with them and see! Nappies are easy to come by/ask relatives to pick up more. Just having a last minute panic about everything!! Any other tips/thoughts/ideas welcome
