I hate chocolate but I think I'll love it for a night to see if it brings my daughter into this world lol

I think I will try it,I don't have gd and love chocolate anyways:)

The recipe can be found online :) the one i used was devils food cake, with a whole pound of chocolate chips, a pack of chocolate pudding (powdered), and a cup of sour cream iced with fudge icing. The chocolate is what supposed to send you into labor. Just avoid is if you have gestational diabetes or any other blood sugar issues!

Mommy_piglet what's a labor cake? Never heard of it lol

What is a labor cake? Even though I can't eat it. I have gd and if I go into labor and my sugars are too high its bad for baby and can put him in nicu. But I'd love to know.

Red raspberry LEAF tea helps tone your uterus and cause contractions. But it will only cause contractions if your body is ready like any other home remedy your body needs to be ready. I've been drinking 3 cups a day everyday for a week and I've had 1 contraction but I'm only 35 weeks so my body isn't ready but I'm hoping this does help it prepare. I'm also taking 3 evening primrose oil capsules a day 2 orally and 1 vaginally.

I ate the labor cake for dessert and went into labor at 5am the next morning. If you are fond of chocolate, the cake is the way to go!

I've been drinking it for 5 days now. No baby yet. 6 days left until my due date...

I'm due in 10 days I've been drinking it for two days straight.  I'm 1cm dilated and contracting here and there. But I have heard red raspberry leaf tea only tones the uterus I don't think it brings on labor.
