I don't think it did much for me, but I drank a ton of the tea iced w/a little cranberry juice mixed in and it was pretty good- very easy to drink lots!

I'm drinking it all day long at this point! 3 weeks from my EDD and I will take all the help I can get. I'm eating dates and taking evening primrose oil capsules too. Can't hurt!

@Mae: yes, it worked for me.

I went into labor and was having super strong contractions according to my OB, and I didn't even feel them because my uterus was so strong and doing all it's work efficiently. Also, even though he was my first, my labor was 8h from start to finish. I am estimating start time as I said, my contractions weren't painful, kind of just like achey.
Anyway: I pushed him out in 3 pushes, despite his head being sideways.
Also, I was somewhere like 3cm and 65% at my 37w checkup.

I used the pills (3-4/day) and then made my RRL Tea into iced tea and drank 1-2cups a day. It was muh better as sweetened ice tea in my opinion.

I did tea around 36 weeks. But after each mug I would get a bit crampy, so the MW said to hold off until 37 weeks to be safe. I did 1 cup a day until about 38 weeks or so then I would do 1-2 cups a day. Baby was born at 39 + 4

@Mae: yes, 3-4 pills a day plus however much I could drink.

I do a 3:1 ratio. So 3 tea bags fer cup of water to make it nice and STRONG. Then I dilute it with very cold water, essentially makin it a maybe..2:1 ratio. I wanted it to be strong. Plus, I added lemon slices. Then, I popped it in the fridge and would pour some into a straw cup and go on a long walk.

I did the capsules because I couldn't drink that much tea. I can't remember how many... I think i maybe worked up to 4 a day.

@spaniellove: I started at 36 weeks.

I really liked the taste of the tea and didn't mind drinking several cups a day.
