Pink Stork Organic Red Raspberry Leaf Labor Prep Tea - Mango-Pineapple with Nettle, and Moringa - Third Trimester Pregnancy Tea - Labor and Delivery Essentials for Women, 30 Cups

I got the unsweetened bag and I’m glad I did. It tastes delicious! Such a soft and sweet flavor, similar to chamomile flavor I think. I’ve been taking this for about a week and a half now twice a day, along with 6 Dates a day, Evening Primrose Oil capsules 1300mg, and a couple Okra Capsules 450mg. I’m currently 36wks pregnant with our first and at this last appointment they say I’m thinning nicely and am already a fingertip dilated! They suggested I start doing these things but I was already doing them for the past week. These natural things have good evidence based results for helping with shorter labor times and an easier time on your cervix and pushing. They don’t induce labor, they just help your body start thinning the thick cervix so things are more comfortable and easier for when your body does decide to go into labor. The tea is so calming and comforting and yummy, it feels nourishing whenever I drink it, like my body is thanking me for it. I’ll continue drinking it the whole time I breast feed and go through postpartum. I really feel it makes a difference. It’s so worth it! You use one tea bag twice a day in 8oz of water, so even though you get 15 bags you have a 30 day supply. The tea is really great quality and very fresh and well packaged. I’m so grateful I gave this company a try. Update: I’m 38Wks pregnant now and have been drinking this twice daily for a couple weeks now. I can totally hand express so easily it’s insane. But I stopped drinking it for two days due to sheer laziness and all of a sudden nothing was coming out when I tried hand expressing. Got back on it and milk is there again. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A GAME CHANGER! You need this if you want to try breastfeeding and helping to prep for labor. This stuff is incredible and the results are obvious!

I am head to toes in LOVE with the company Pink Stork!! My experience seems to be a little different from most of the comments I’ve read... Majority of what I read here seems like soon-to-be mamas start enjoying this product between 35-37 weeks and continue until delivery. I didn’t have my first cup of Labor Support tea until I was 40w 3d, simply because I didn’t know it existed before then!! I almost canceled my order because I was worried it wouldn’t arrive in time (my prime order took one whole week to arrive— my only downside in this experience) but I’m happy I didn’t cancel because my baby was born at 41w. I enjoyed drinking this tea for only 4 days and even took a bath in it once (bath probably not needed but I collected/saved/used all the soaked bags before tossing them). It left my skin feeling nice even if nothing else. One complaint I read here was the packaging claims 30 servings, suggesting that each of the 15 bags is used twice and the second cup isn’t as strong. While I agree, it didn’t affect me so much because I didn’t have a long time to drink it but I understand why that would be frustrating if you are starting your regime at the 37w mark. The benefits during Labor: I am a first pregnancy/first time mom. I had a home birth supported by two midwives. While I had contractions throughout the week, my active labor was 4 hours and I pushed my baby out in 36 minutes. I know, I know, I’m one of those women that other women hate because of the smoothness of my labor. SorryNotSorry— I’m happy to give that credit to this LaborPrep product. In my defense, my entire gestation was hellish (nine solid months of daily nausea, vomiting after 9 of 10 meals, breath-stealing heartburn) so I kinda deserved a break come labor time. I only wish I found PinkStork sooner so I could have tried their prenatal and morning sickness products. I have since purchased the Postpartum Recovery tea and PostNatal pills. Pills seem great so far, nice aroma (I’ll review those separately) but I do NOT like the flavor of the recovery tea, so... I’m using up my leftover Labor Prep and steeping one of each bag in the same cup. Super strong tea but with a better flavor. Get this stuff. It works miracles.

i like the taste. its very good for when you want a warm drink.. i am not sure about my milk supply but i like that is safe to drink during my breastfeeding period

Taste great, did not get labor started for me unfortunately. But was a great tea for the mornings!!

Got it for my wife and she loves the taste of it and everything, checked the ingredients and it's a great mixture for the purpose. Wish the packaging was a little bigger for that price but all in all a good product

I will start with the positive aspects: I think it tastes great (I like to add honey to add extra sweetness, but the taste is very floral and not bitter) and I do love to support women-owned businesses. While I can't speak of the efficiency of the tea as I am still pregnant, I can tell you right away that the 30 cups advertised is not entirely true. There are 15 sachets in the pack, so you would have to reuse each sachet to make it to 30 cups. I don't know about you, but I never reuse my tea bags because the taste is always off. And I only drink 1 cup a day, so I'm supposed to leave my sloppy tea bag on the counter until the next morning? No thank you. Additionally, this company is very openly religious, which is clearly mentioned on the label, but not in the Amazon ad. The package reads things like "I knew God had a greater purpose for my suffering, so I created Pink Stork in 2015 to help other women and give them hope." or "This product was prayed over". I probably would've not bought this product if I knew ahead, but it might be a positive influence on other customers. Overall, this product is good, tastes fantastic, and even if there are no real scientific studies on the benefits of red raspberry leaf and its impact on labor, it also doesn't hurt and I'm OK relying on the placebo effect!

I started taking this tea at about 34/35 weeks pregnant with my 1st child with the intention of starting it in the last month of pregnancy as I feared too early could cause a preterm birth. After reading the reviews I decided unsweetened was the way to go. The taste is pretty good and seems to be high quality tea… all the bags were it tack and the leaves do not bleed when met with hot water but require actual steeping. Right around the time I started the tea I got shooting pains in my groin and didn’t correlate the two… usually the right side which the baby tends to favor so I thought maybe the uterus’ weight was leaning on that side. I had already started the birthing ball two weeks prior and continued to drink the tea nightly. When I went to my first weekly check up at 36 weeks I had my 1st cervix check up and was dilated 2 cm already and 80% effaced… I was no where near ready for my 1st early so I cut back on the tea and birthing ball to every other, every 3 nights. I now realize those pains were contractions. They have gotten stronger and more frequent. At 37 weeks 90% effaced. At 38 weeks 3.5 cm. dilated nearly 100% effaced, spot bleeding, cramps, feels like the baby dropped. I’m now hardly drinking the tea and have plenty left. I’m trying to keep my bb in until his father’s paternity leave starts and we have everything set up, my intentions were for a quick labor not an early baby. I bought dates as well but haven’t opened the box. How much of it is the tea vs birthing ball vs my own body idk but this tea doesn’t not work. But my allergies are bad and not tea brings relief and the tea taste good so I’m tempted to have a lil more. I think it’s all about balance and taking this tea at the right time, starting off small. Be prepared to have contractions. My Doctor claims nothing is proven medically with this tea but she didn’t advise against it. After my 1st cervix check she said it’s a good sign to have start dilating and I’ll have a quick vaginal birth; whatever I’m doing is working with the tea and ball combo and not to bother with the dates. She now claims It’s rare to be this dilated at 38 weeks for a 1st child and 1 cm is more the norm but he’s a full term baby and will probably come early and quick. I think the tea should be consumed with caution as any herbs during pregnancy. Looked up every single ingredient and it check out as safe for pregnancy.

Bought this after combing through reviews. Was trying for a vbac after twins (so my uterus has seen some THINGS). Here’s what I found after using for about 5 weeks at 1-2 cups/day, starting at 35 weeks. Pros: - flavor is great, similar to chamomile, nothing overwhelming or bitter. Would drink if not pregnant - definitely tightens up uterus (not in a Braxton hicks way, but passively strengthening the muscle as you consume). I saw degrees of change by the 4th cup. - tightens pelvic floor - ummm HUGE PERK - I no longer peed when sneezing after drinking this for 5 weeks. (Will probs buy another bag since I’ve had baby just to tighten things up again down there) - colostrum came in SO early! Like within the week of starting drinking the tea. Which has benefitted from my milk coming in sooner as well. Could have harvested it if I wanted but preferred not to. Cons: - the price. It’s not great but since you don’t expect this to be a lifelong purchase and only seasonal in the 3rd/4th trimesters. Breaks down to about $1/cup. Not ideal for tea, but imo it’s worthy the price. - idk if someone posted this but this drink will NOT put you into labor. That’s not it’s job physiologically. Not as much a con, but in the frenzy of wanting to go into labor, teas like this get a lot of pressure put on them unnecessarily. Go have sëggs if you want to go into labor. Does this speed up labor/help in labor? - tbh after reading all the reviews and having my own baby after using it, hard to say yes/no. It was my 4th kid, so that has its benefits as well. I DO think it toned up muscles necessary for birth and has made postpartum bleeding lighter and my uterus more efficient. So in that way, I’d say it’s worth it.
