Does anyone drink red raspberry leaf tea?

Question

I'm reading not to drink it until second trimester, but I really like the tea! Apparently it strengthens the uterus, but can cause contractions? I'm not sure how true that is! Either way, I'm 12 weeks and would LOVE to drink some, but now I'm not sure! Anyone?

Answer

My midwife told me to hold
Off until 14 weeks or so but there is a ton of research that drinking the tea even just second trimester on decreases interventions needed in labor like c-section, forceps, etc.

Answer

I did with my last pregnancy but didn't start until 30 weeks. I loved it though.

Answer

I’m drinking it as we speak! 😊 I’ve read mixed reviews also but I know a few people that drank it their entire pregnancy with all of their pregnancies and they encouraged me to!

Answer

I drank one cup starting at 30 weeks, 2 at 35 weeks, and 3 by 38 weeks. My labor was so quick and smooth (especially compared to my first). I’ll definitely be drinking it this go round. Although I wouldn’t so soon because I would sometimes feel tightening.

Answer

my doctor says any tea is fine. 1 cup a day (8oz) not just any size cup you want.

Answer

I drank it to help recover from my miscarriage, and I was pregnant again in 2 weeks. I had heard that it can cause contractions and early labor, so I thought it was unsafe to use during pregnancy.
