just drink my 1rst cup of cinnamon tea!

[2BoysOhGosh]

It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be ! Its not the best  but also not the worse taste . Now time to wait and see what happens.

[2BoysOhGosh]

ljo964 I didn't like the smell either! I just held my nose and drink as quickly as I can...lol

[ljo964]

Thank you ladies :)

[Gaby_29]

Ijo964 I also had a hard time drinking the tea so my sister told me to add coffee and suger to help with the taste and it did work for me

[haleyblossom]

Castor oil is a no no. You could get the runs which wouldn't be good while in labor and you could just Google the other reasons why it's not safe. Be safe ladies ! (:

[sam0716]

Cumin, oregano, and basil tea are supposed to do the same as cinnamon tea

[ljo964]

I hate the taste and smell of cinnamon, what can I substitute it with?? coz I dont wanna try castor oil

[sam0716]

I could barely finish the first cup, don't really feel anything yet though.

[guessBaby]

Dont add cummin! Tastes awful lol I tried it before my appt today and been having contractions(: just started another pot. No cummin this time. Taste way better.

[haleyblossom]

Is it proven to be safe ? This is interesting,  I've never heard of it before

[2BoysOhGosh]

I added a little sugar and held my nose!the smell and taste gets to you afterwhile. I was just struggling with my second cup!

[sam0716]

Oh okay then, anyway to make this stiff taste better? It tastes absolutely horrible

[2BoysOhGosh]

Sam0716... I wasnt referring to you I was talking to the other ladies . Im with you ! I always do my share of research before trying ANYTHING especially if It can put my baby at risk!!!

[sam0716]

I know but I tend research the heck out of things to make sure it's something I'm okay with and that's what popped up on medical sites

[2BoysOhGosh]

Sam0716 I boiled for about 10 min with the sticks ..and let it simmer for 5. I only drunk a cup and added a little surgar. Yea there is alot information available!an its  just tea by the way..lol

[pauly22]

Good luck to you!! :)

[sam0716]

By the way if you Google it a lot of information comes up with it being a natural inducer because it aids in thinning and dilating the cervix, it also helps stimulate contractions if yoyr body and baby are ready for birth

[sam0716]

How long are you supposed to boil the cinnamon sticks?

[2BoysOhGosh]

Please dont come on my post with any negativity! If this post isnt pertaining to you then no need too comment!

[LadyBeeley]

So no research or dr advice just some people on a public forum where anyone can say anything?

[AdylinsMommy101214]

Cause a lot of people have posted saying it works.

[LadyBeeley]

Why is everyone switching to cinnamon tea?  Saw one woman post about it a few days ago saying a family member told her to try it and now everyone is. Its red raspberry leaf tea thats supposed to help with labor.

[bethany092914]

[Zahra147]
