Pink Stork Organic Red Raspberry Leaf Labor Prep Tea – Mango-Pineapple with Nettle, and Moringa – Third Trimester Pregnancy Tea – Labor and Delivery Essentials for Women, 30 Cups

Worth It! AMAZING RESULTS
I got the unsweetened bag and I’m glad I did. It tastes delicious! Such a soft and sweet flavor, similar to chamomile flavor I think. I’ve been taking this for about a week and a half now twice a day, along with 6 Dates a day, Evening Primrose Oil capsules 1300mg, and a couple Okra Capsules 450mg. I’m currently 36wks pregnant with our first and at this last appointment they say I’m thinning nicely and am already a fingertip dilated!They suggested I start doing these things but I was already doing them for the past week. These natural things have good evidence based results for helping with shorter labor times and an easier time on your cervix and pushing. They don’t induce labor, they just help your body start thinning the thick cervix so things are more comfortable and easier for when your body does decide to go into labor. The tea is so calming and comforting and yummy, it feels nourishing whenever I drink it, like my body is thanking me for it. I’ll continue drinking it the whole time I breast feed and go through postpartum. I really feel it makes a difference. It’s so worth it! You use one tea bag twice a day in 8oz of water, so even though you get 15 bags you have a 30 day supply. The tea is really great quality and very fresh and well packaged. I’m so grateful I gave this company a try.Update:I’m 38Wks pregnant now and have been drinking this twice daily for a couple weeks now. I can totally hand express so easily it’s insane. But I stopped drinking it for two days due to sheer laziness and all of a sudden nothing was coming out when I tried hand expressing. Got back on it and milk is there again. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A GAME CHANGER! You need this if you want to try breastfeeding and helping to prep for labor. This stuff is incredible and the results are obvious!

Doesn’t not work
I started taking this tea at about 34/35 weeks pregnant with my 1st child with the intention of starting it in the last month of pregnancy as I feared too early could cause a preterm birth. After reading the reviews I decided unsweetened was the way to go. The taste is pretty good and seems to be high quality tea… all the bags were it tack and the leaves do not bleed when met with hot water but require actual steeping.Right around the time I started the tea I got shooting pains in my groin and didn’t correlate the two… usually the right side which the baby tends to favor so I thought maybe the uterus’ weight was leaning on that side. I had already started the birthing ball two weeks prior and continued to drink the tea nightly. When I went to my first weekly check up at 36 weeks I had my 1st cervix check up and was dilated 2 cm already and 80% effaced… I was no where near ready for my 1st early so I cut back on the tea and birthing ball to every other, every 3 nights. I now realize those pains were contractions. They have gotten stronger and more frequent. At 37 weeks 90% effaced. At 38 weeks 3.5 cm. dilated nearly 100% effaced, spot bleeding, cramps, feels like the baby dropped. I’m now hardly drinking the tea and have plenty left. I’m trying to keep my bb in until his father’s paternity leave starts and we have everything set up, my intentions were for a quick labor not an early baby. I bought dates as well but haven’t opened the box. How much of it is the tea vs birthing ball vs my own body idk but this tea doesn’t not work. But my allergies are bad and not tea brings relief and the tea taste good so I’m tempted to have a lil more. I think it’s all about balance and taking this tea at the right time, starting off small. Be prepared to have contractions.My Doctor claims nothing is proven medically with this tea but she didn’t advise against it. After my 1st cervix check she said it’s a good sign to have start dilating and I’ll have a quick vaginal birth; whatever I’m doing is working with the tea and ball combo and not to bother with the dates. She now claims It’s rare to be this dilated at 38 weeks for a 1st child and 1 cm is more the norm but he’s a full term baby and will probably come early and quick. I think the tea should be consumed with caution as any herbs during pregnancy. Looked up every single ingredient and it check out as safe for pregnancy.

My wife used it from 35 weeks onwards. She used to consume 2 dates a day, one evening primrose gel capsule (orally once a day followed by vaginally once a day 37 weeks onwards) and also did regular squatting. She had to be induced at 38 weeks but she had a good bishop’s score (cervical softness and dilatation) to begin with. Labour lasted 18 hours (the delay could be due to epidural) but the first 6 cm dilatation was attained by 9 hours which is good considering this was her first labour. The bleeding during and after labour was average. So all in all it was a good prelabour cocktail of efforts. We can’t really be sure that this tea worked (nobody can) as we don’t know the benefit of using it as a sole method. My wife (an obstetrician) and I would recommend this. At least there would be no harm (if not no benefit) as it is organic. From the price point, it is expensive. But, when you are wanting the best (to start labour naturally) the cost would be secondary.
