Earth Mama - Organic Third Trimester Tea - 16 Teabags | Herbal Tea for Late Pregnancy Comfort + Childbirth Preparation, Caffeine Free & Non-GMO

I liked the quality of the ingredients in the tea. I tried to drink as much as I could during my third trimester and after free birthing my second child - I experienced only a small amount of pain and it was a three hour labor in total. I do believe my labor was shortened because of my consistency in drinking this tea. I will drink this for every future pregnancy I may be blessed with and recommend it to all of my friends. Thank you to whoever created this blend.

Tasty tea! Drank a few bags of it yesterday and noticed my cervix is softer and opening, I’m 37.5 weeks. Idk if it was the tea or not but hoping it helps my home birth.

I drank this brand of tea for most of my pregnancy. Starting at about 9/10weeks and into the 3rd tri. I am an avid tea drinker and I liked this flavor tea. It was very tasty iced. Some women say its better with honey but I didn’t mind it plain. My midwife suggested 1 cup per day during the 1st trimester, 2cups 2nd, 3cups 3rd. I switched to the Yogi brand red raspberry leaf tea my third trimester because this was out of stock and enjoyed the flavor of that one a little better. Both teas are very mild and I found both tasty. You can find it here. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009F3SFK/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_54 both are good and an excellent price to buy in bulk. They say this is a labor prep tea and gets your uterus ready to have a speedy labor. This was my first baby. I drank this tea religiously and it was easy to keep in a jug in the fridge and I would pour a cup here and there throughout the day. (I was in my 3rd trimester throughout the FL summer months so it was nice to have it iced) Towards the end I was drinking this all the time. I went into labor 10 days before my due date. I had a very mild pre-labor which started about 5am on Sept 24th... I didn’t really know I was in labor until the surges started coming closer together and regularly. My water broke at 5pm that day and labor started immediately-- very intense. I got into the birthing tub at 5:45pm and labor advanced quickly. I was fully dilated by 9pm. By body started pushing on its own and I don't remember pushing for very long. I gave birth to my baby girl in the water at 9:57pm that same evening, fully conscious without any pain relief. I don't know if it was in part the tea or my body but I can only assume the tea had something to do with it. They say it helps prep you for a speedy labor and my labor was just that. BEWARE --- a speedy labor means super intense labor. It was hard to stay in focus with the hypnobirthing because it was so intense... I was 0 dilated when my water broke and fully 10cm in less than 4 hours!!!

i swear by this tea. I tell everyone about it. I started drinking in the third trimester I don't remember when but I knew the sooner the better so it could tone the uterus and it did. I drank it mostly every day and noticed later, the days I didn't drink it I didn't have the cramps like I did on the days I did. The cramping indicated it was working so I made sure I drank it every day. I had a healthy pregnancy and the cramps just felt like period cramps. I wasn't worried about it at all. My uterus got stronger. During labor I pushed 5 times and there was my beautiful baby girl. The doctors thanked ME for such a great delivery but I believe it was mostly the tea. I also, did a few other things I researched to help with delivery. I ate dates, they say six a day to help dialate the cervix but i just made granola bars with them. Granola bars-Oats dates nuts chia seeds whatever you like...Prunes. They are sweet enough without any chocolate or honey. I took evening primrose oil twice the last week before my due date. I waited as long as possible to get the epidural. Which wasn't long because both anesthesiologist were needed for c-sections. It was now or never. (Dilated to a 4) One doctor was able to get my epidural going before she went to the cesarean. The epidural these days, you get a constant flow and are able to press a button every 15 minutes to get a little more if you need it. I didn't press it until after I had her so I could "feel" the contractions during labor. I didn't feel much... (Gross warning) I did feel amniotic fluid and blood on my legs and butt when I pushed. I was surprised by this for some reason. I sat on my exercise ball and bounced or rocked whenever I could. Pregnancy and labor(before epidural) Dark delivery room My water broke and I labored for an hour at home, six hours later I had her. Most of that time I was able to relax because of the epidural (my mom thought I was sleeping) the nurse told me I should try and sleep to get energy for the pushing part. (What?! Sleep?! People are able to sleep during labor? I said... with an epidural) I pushed for fifteen minutes, twenty at most. My doctor was still getting his gloves on as she came out. There was another doctor and student ready to catch her though. All of these things probably helped my delivery but like I said, I think it was mostly the tea.

I started drinking this twice a day, along with primrose oil casules, on the day of my 36 week checkup with my first baby. I was only 1/2 cm dilated and 0% effaced. We went in for my 37 week checkup and I was 1.5 cm dilated and 70% effaced. At my 38 week checkup we saw a different doctor and I had not progressed at all, but he did say that it was good that my cervix was thinning so I would not be one of the first time moms that would need to have this done with the medication, which he said is fairly common. Today at my 39 week checkup, I saw another different doctor and he said that I was 1-2 cm dilated and only 50% effaced.... I'm not sure how accurate the last two doctor's I've seen are, but I may be a little biased because I really like the one that I usually see. But I do think this is helping to prepare my cervix for labor, however if you go into it thinking that it will help to induce labor you may be disappointed. However we have tried everything:walking, sex, pineapple. So I'm not blaming the product since nothing has been effective in putting me into labor so far. Also the taste is actually pleasant. I just stir in a little honey and it helps me to relax before I go to bed. I've completely replaced it with coffee in the mornings as well. But I'll post an update on how everything goes with the labor and delivery though. Hopefully soon!!

Very light herbal and mint flavor. Not overpowering. You can definitely taste the nettles. I enjoy the flavor of nettles, but I know it may not be a hit for everyone.

honestly I love this tea. I started taking it a few weeks ago @ 30 weeks and its been great! the taste is amazing. We shall see how it does as my pregnancy and third trimester progress!

Recommended by my midwife!

Delicious!

This tea is amazing, it is really calming and also relieves those pesky cramps I kept having as my baby grew bigger

The product itself is very good - one of the better tasting red raspberry leaf teas that I have tried. It has a nice minty flavour but not too strong. My only problem with it is that the box came damaged and it took over a month to arrive... if you have the time to wait and don't mind the box being dented then its a good purchase.

This tea is really good, especially with a teaspoon of honey stirred in. I can't speak to how effective it is as I'm not due for another couple months, but it is certainly a nice evening routine and makes me feel good!

Well, if you are looking to give birth super fast, then this is the product for you!! First time mom here and I progressed so fast that the nurses didn't believe me I hadn't had children before. I work at the hospital that I delivered at. Three days before my due date I had labour pains, very minor, every 10 or 15 mins all night... It wasn't too bad so I thought it wasn't a big deal; I even slept through some of them. I worked a full day the next day, with labour pains every 10 mins apart... Again it wasn't too bad... So, I thought it was just false labour signs because it didn't really hurt a lot. That morning before work one of our doctors checked me and said I was 3cm dilated. She said the baby could arrive within the next couple of days... Or up to a week. I worked my full shift and commuter an hour home. That night around 8pm I started feeling more pain...but contractions were too far apart. I was told to come in when they are 6 mins apart for 1 full minute each and this lasts for 1 hour. Well, none of this was happening... It went from, 10-15 mins apart to 5 mins, 3mins... All within an hour. By the time i took a shower before my 1 hour commute back to work (the hospital to deliver), on the highway they went down to 2.5 mins apart with pretty intense labor pains. I went to triage and when they checked me I was 8cm and at 90% ... All I had energy for was to say: I want an epidural now! Please !! By the time I got the epidural about 20 mins later, I was at 9cm. The delivering doctor was so impressed she kept saying: I can't believe this is your first child, you are made for babies! It feels like a fourth child ! This meant a lot to me because my work is a baby hospital and we deliver 6500 babies per year....so clearly this was an educated judgement The actual active labour (with pushing) also was extremely short... The doc actually wasnt ready for me to deliver because she came so fast...and the nurse had to hold the baby's head back ... The "pushing baby back" part of the labour would be the only hega
