Dates and Raspberry leaf tea

I started both at 32 weeks! Some say you can start much sooner it just depends on who you talk to. :) Also, I ate 2 whole pineapple in the 48 hours before I went into labor 😅 I swear it made me go into labor, haha. I went into labor at 38 weeks. My water broke 1 week after I lost my plug, and I started contractions immediately.

My pediatrician said i could start at 34 weeks. I did a 8oz cup of tea with pineapple juice and coconut water every day and also fresh pineapple as a snack every day and a date or 2 every so often when i wanted something sweet. Went into labor at exactly 38 weeks, lost my plug during the day, went into labor at midnight and my baby was born before 1pm. I definitely think it helped! I don’t know anyone who had a labor as short as mine with their first.

I ate dates my whole pregnancy it was one of my biggest cravings but started eating them and drinking tea daily at 30 weeks
