Red raspberry leaf tea?

Question

Has anyone used red raspberry leaf tea or capsules to help with labor? I've heard it's great for a quick painless labor! I don't like tea but I want to try the capsules starting at 38 weeks. My midwife said it was fine if I feel the need to use something to help with labor.

Answer

I'm 35 weeks and started drinking it (iced) yesterday. It's supposed to strengthen your uterine muscles so your contractions are more effective. It tastes good too, I add a little honey. 🐝

Answer

I am 33 weeks and started it at 30 weeks. My sister in law swears by it. She had the fastest/easiest labor. She took it her whole pregnancy! I just started it a couple weeks ago though so hopefully it helps!

Answer

I've been seeing a lot of post about this tea. I've never used it and will ask my dr about it next week. My first labor was 8 hours start to finish. I'm afraid if I drink the tea baby will slip right out before I'm ready lol. However this pregnancy has been much more difficult than my first.

Answer

I plan on starting to drink it around 37 weeks. I started drinking it at 39 weeks with my first and she was born 4 days later. I don't really like tea but it's worth it if it helps with contractions even a little.

Answer

I asked my midwife about evening primrose oil and she didn't recommend it, but she did recommend the raspberry leaf and said it is fine so that's why I'm going that route. This is our first baby and I definitely don't want an extremely long labor! I'm also delivering at home in the water so if anything helps with the pain & is natural I'll take it!
