Does Okra water really help with baby coming right out once pushing? I keep seeing things about raspberry tea, okra water, dates and pineapples.

Baby will come when baby is ready. These things only help soften your cervix. It’s pretty standard for women to go into labor 36-37 weeks nowadays so it’s most likely just coincidence.

I was thinking this same thing that it’s coincidental and that they could’ve had easy labors regardless because some women say they do all of those things and end up with the baby not coming out and having to get a c section

yeah it has nothing to do with it lol.

I asked my OB about the raspberry leaf tea and dates. She says there is no hard scientific evidence that they help, but she said they won't hurt! She says those are both diuretics, so they will help if I'm constipated. 🤷‍♀️ I'm trying them both as of 37 weeks.

that makes sense I guess it depends on the person lol some people swear by it but my hospital is an hour away so I’m nervous if I do take this stuff ima dilate too fast and won’t make it lol

There actually is very good evidence that red raspberry leaf tones the uterus which makes contractions more productive once you are in labor. Same as with dates, they help soften your cervix. None of these things make you go into labor, they just help your body to have a more productive labor once it actually starts. I'm on baby #6 and have been doing this for a while. I always drink red raspberry leaf tea the entire pregnancy and never went into labor before 39 weeks but my labors have been very productive and pretty quick

oh wow! Yeah I’m thinking ima do the tea and okra water
