Who is planning to drink it? I'm pretty sure I can start on Saturday (at 32 weeks), and it's just 1 cup a day at first, gradually building to 3 cups a day at the very end. But I can't remember much else other than its purpose is to help tone the uterus. I can say that after using it with ds, I have MUCH less clotting and bleeding than I did with Madelyn. But then, I was forced into an early labor with her, and a very hard labor at that, plus I didn't get to breastfeed her, so I'm sure all of that played a role, too.
