  I did for both pg starting at 37 weeks. It cannot make you go into labor. All it does is tone the uterus to make contractions more effective when you are in active labor.
  
  DD I had spontaneous labor at 39 weeks. 4 hours, med free. Pushed for an hour.
  
  DS I went into labor 24 hours after a membrane sweep. Epideral. 8 pushes total.
  
  It tastes like black tea. You can drink it 4-5 times a day hot or cold. It steeps for 15 minutes with a cover.
  
  Hope that helps.

  I drank it with my first all throughout my third trimester. I had a fairly quick and easy labor but saw a chiropractor for adjustments prior to my delivery also which I think helped as well. I've haven't had a chance to run out and get some yet but I loved the taste of it and I definitely want to buy more and start drinking it ASAP. It won't cause you to go into labor, just help strengthen the uterus.

  I can't say it made any difference for my labors.

  I drank a cup a day for almost the entire last month. Since the recommendations are to drink it throughout your pg and drink several cups a day through the third tri, I am wondering if it even did anything for me. Not like i had anything to compare it to. Fwiw, my water broke and I fully dilated in 10 hrs without any meds to augment labor.

  I drank yogi brand pregnancy tea with my last pregnancy and now again with this one.

  Thanks for sharing your experiences, ladies! I tried a sample I had after OB said it was fine and I love it! So even if it does absolutely nothing, it still tastes pretty damn good.
