Pink Stork Labor Prep: Sweet Floral Red Raspberry Tea, USDA Organic (30 Cups)

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.

I bought this tea to help with labor I drink this tea starting at 37 weeks of pregnancy along with dates evening Primrose oil and a birthing ball which I use regularly since 37 weeks I also walked for 30 minutes every day after 38 weeks. everyone is different but for those of you who are looking to see if this will induce labor I will say this does not induce labor. For the first time after five Births my son was six days past due. As for aiding in a shorter labor my labor started at 2 o’clock in the morning and I gave birth at 7 o’clock in the morning our son came after 4 strong pushes no tearing he was 10 pounds and it was an unmedicated birth. I also used a TENS unit which really helped with contractions.Taste best when iced!

I work in a labor and delivery unit and one of my fellow nurses suggest that I start drinking red raspberry leaf tea starting at 37 weeks. I am a tea lover so after lots of research and reviews I ordered this tea and started drinking it at 37 weeks. I drank faithfully every day 2x a day. The taste is good, kinda plain but tolerable. This tea is not meant to make you go into labor!!! It makes your contractions strong and effective when your body starts labor on its own. At 39 weeks and 5 days I knew I was in labor but not really contracting yet. Around 1:45 am the contractions came on and were strong (about 10 minutes apart) and so I decided to go to the hospital and delivered within 20 minutes of being there!!! I truly believe that this tea helped my labor be so quick! Definently worth the $11.

I feel like I can FINALLY post a review of this product... I have been drinking this tea since the end of my second trimester, unsure of what it would actually do... Hey, at least it tasted really good, if nothing else. Keep in mind, this is my first and only experience with Labor/Delivery and Recovery, so I have nothing to compare this experience to other than "what is supposed to happen" during delivery.Fast forward to the day I went in to labor: my water was slow leaking but I didn't start active labor on my own with in 2 hours of getting to the hospital, so they began the induction process. I was told (at 12:00am) to prepare for a long process and not to expect to be giving birth until the following evening.Let me tell you, when my contractions started they got consistent and intense quickly. I started pitocin shortly after 5:00am when I also got an epidural (thank goodness!) And was told again that I would likely still be laboring late into the afternoon/evening. I was 3cm at 7:45 am and by 9:00 am the doctor was shocked to find out I was 10cm and ready to push (he only checked because they thought the baby was in distress based on the strength of my contractions- they were going to slow down the pitocin!) So, here comes the fun part!I started pushing right around 9:05 am and my little guy barely waited for the doctor (or my mom) to make it into the room before he decided to fly out of me (arm up by his head like Superman) at 9:29 am.Recovery has been so, so smooth despite having 4th degree tearing (maybe the tea worked a little TOO well for me..) I 100% will be recommending this tea to all my expecting friends as a must try.

I started drinking this tea at 38 weeks and four days and delivered at 39 weeks and 0 days. The doctor had been telling me the few weeks prior that I was going to go over my due date, so week 38 I started really doing my “homework” (exercise, bouncing on a birthing ball, sex, and this tea). I’m not sure which aspect really helped me go into labor early, but all of these combined definitely worked for me
