Saying that all women would know about okra water if it did work is also forgetting that big pharma doesn’t like when we choose natural herbs and remedies for our health. We are the government’s bank account. There should be more push on natural remedies instead of us knowing there are epidurals and pitocin at the hospital unfortunately.

[@birthtoolbox]

I agree that more testing and information should be provided for natural (non-pharma) remedies.

Dear maybe it's new to you in the US but its not new in Africa, yes there isnt enough research but that isnt to say its not effective or beneficial. And okra water is almost tasteless.

[@birthtoolbox]

That is a great perspective, thank you!

[@joannaemma1877]

Can u share more common practices like this from Africa?

[@raynellepicton3904]

Hear in the Caribbean at least here in Trinidad and Tobago, we are encouraged by our elders to consume alot of Okra but by cooking and eating as soon as you become pregnant. Okra water, however, is new to me

[@afrolofi]

But none of you all are pregnant.......so the title is misleading.

[@birthtoolbox]

No, I wasn’t testing the effectiveness of the okra water. We were taste testing it. I mentioned the lack of research.

I have started drinking ochro water in July and i am due anytime i believe it assisted in preventing me from.getting edema, gestational diabetes and preeclampsia. As for labour we will see how it goes

[@birthtoolbox]

Best of luck to you!!

[@birthtoolbox]

I don’t have any recommendations because it hasn’t been researched.

[@genny5482]

After see you poor that into cups and seeing slime. I am like nope I am good. But are there any other health benefits from drinking that.

[@birthtoolbox]

It looks worse than it tastes! There isn’t any clear research on okra water.

[@20n30somethings]
