I am 36 + 2 and have been drinking 1-2 cups of the tea each day scince about 34 weeks.

My midwife suggested the tablets as she said the tea was foul, but I quite like it actually. I think either are fine as long as you follow the instructions on the label.
Also, fresh Pinapple is supposed to help in a similar way too.........

Take care & good luck xxx

I got the tea last week as the shop didnt have the tablets, have been having one cup a night and i have been getting really stong and uncomfortable BH, Considering stopping them but not sure if this is normal or not?

I have always liked herbal teas and quite like this one lol! The one i have is also mixed with apple so not bad at all.

i have literally just gone out and bought some of the capsules i spoke to my midwife about it yesterday and she said i should take them as instructed on the jar * as they come in different strengths* from 36 weeks * i know some ladies do it from 32* i cant stand any types of tea so capsules are my only option but my midwife said it shouldnt make any difference

theres no instructions on my jar, although the lady in the health shop said to start taking them from today- 34 week but didnt say how many/often?
