Just Wanted to Share

My cousin-in-law was talking to me a few months ago about her first birth experience and was asking for advice as to how she might have an easier time with her second.  I gave her some ideas, classes, doula, books, etc and also mentioned RRLT.  She asked a nurse at her OB practice and she said she had never heard of it, but gave her the 'green light' to try it.  She drank it all of her third tri.  My cousin-in-law had her baby this week and described her birth as 'very intimate and calm' so nice to hear!  Plus she said her uterus is already very small and when she told her OB about it she was amazed, said she even took note of it!  Just so happy she had a more positive experience this time!

    Funny - I asked my OB about RRLT at my last appointment. He said he knew nothing about it, but to "go for it" and "fill him in on the results." Hmm...haha

    I'm planning to start drinking it in my 3rd tri.

    Is this something that's not considered beneficial to drink during the first trimester? I've been drinking a cup here and there, wondering if I should wait until the second tri.

     

    It really depends on who you talk to.  Some MWs/OBs will say it's fine to drink your entire pregnancy.  Some say to wait until the third tri or I've even heard as late as 34w.  The reasoning being that while it won't put you into labor, it might be harder to stop once it starts if you go into pre-term labor.  But definitely beneficial your entire pregnancy.  For my own comfort level, I would be fine drinking a glass or two my entire pregnancy, I wouldn't do supplements until 34w or so.

    Not to get this convo off track, but what RRLT supplements are there? I'm at 33 weeks and started 1-2 cups a day last week. Is thier something else people recommend?

    I used Nature's Way you can get it off Amazon.  It says to take I think two capsules a day, I only took one.  

    I liked them though I'm on the fence over whether I should use them next time.  I had a 'precipitous birth' and since I'm at an increased chance of that happening again, I don't know if it's a good idea for me.  I will have to ask next time around.

    great to hear! It really is a shame that more OBs don't know about RRLT. It could make birth so much easier for so many women. I drank it through my 3rd tri and just gave birth 5 days ago. I'm already feeling back to 100% and only needing ultra light pads.
