Moms-to-be are sipping this weird Starbucks drink to induce labor - experts say it's ridiculous
Briefly

Pregnant women have taken to social media, particularly TikTok, to order drinks like the iced passion tango tea from Starbucks, believing it could induce labor. One such TikTok user, Lindsey Hull, humorously acknowledged the drink might not actually work. Despite some anecdotal success stories, experts like Dr. Shannon Smith caution that the timing of labor after consuming the drink is likely coincidental and that many women will experience labor signs as they approach their due date regardless.
One desperate 38-week pregnant woman, Lindsey Hull, posted a TikTok video eagerly ordering the viral 'labor-inducing' drink, stating 'I'm sure it doesn't actually work, but I'm willing to try literally anything.'
Some moms would say yes. Back in 2023, mommies-to-be were chugging venti passion tea lemonade with four pumps of raspberry syrup, hoping for the best.
Luckily for Laidler, her version of the labor-inducing concoction actually worked, leading her to give birth shortly after.
According to experts, this timing is just coincidental as, at term, everyone should start having contractions at some point.
