Chopsticks, I think in a few who are already pre disposed to pre term labour it could trigger labour so to cover their backs, they will say around 36/37 weeks (which is full term), however, in a study I found it actually says that it can decrease your risk or pre term labour! http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B82YM-4JKB6S1-8&_user=10&_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_sort=d&view=c&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=99a51245a8a760fe32bd98e0465a6323
I know that I wouldn't use it before 37 weeks as I did go into pre term labour with DS2 due to dehydration.

All I can say is I've been drinking my RLT since I was 32 weeks (building it up gradually as advised by askbaby) and my bump is showing no signs of arriving early and My best mummy friend did the same with her 2 girls one was overdue and the 2nd was dates unsure but arrived 2 weeks early seemingly full term
Also I'm sure I read it was 4 whole pineapples

As this one is my first, I don't know if I am pre-disposed to pre term labour or not. I think I'll start at 35 weeks and hope that will have enough effect for me.

I wonder if my MW has got that wrong too then, it wouldn't suprise me!! EVen so, peeling and coring (or whatever the phrase is for what you do to a pineapple) four pineapples would be a faff and too sticky...although I might have changed my mind in 8 weeks time when bump is overdue and I'm desperate to try anything!!

Going back to the RLT discussion the other day, I asked my MW today about taking it and she said she doesn't advise it until 36 weeks. Everywhere else seems to suggest 34 weeks, so am unsure what to do now. Maybe start at 35 weeks . She said it was because it can bring on labour

I started with 1 cup at 32 weeks, 2 at 34, 3 at 36 etc...

...and I'm still bloody here at 41wks guzzling it like there's no tomorrow :rotfl: I'm expecting my uterine muscles to be so toned that I shoot her across the room in 2 pushes when she finally decides to put in her appearance!

Don't take that as any kind of advice against what you've been recommended though, I just had to comment because it made me smile.

Pineapples!

I can't even stomach one fresh pineapple ring so I'm not going to be the one to test the four or seven pineapple theory!

Ha ha, the comment about shooting her across the room in two pushes has made me laugh out loud.

I wish all the medical professionals would get their facts straight and agree amongst themselves what the right answer is!
