Does drinking raspberry leaf tea help with labor?

Question

I’m 35 weeks and I just remembered that people have said you should start drinking raspberry leaf tea at 32 weeks. Do you guys think it helps?

Answer

Coincidence or not, I drank too cups the night before my second was born and had a quick labor. My body started to push baby out on its own...

Answer

Everyone I know who drank it had a fast labor (myself included). It doesn’t hurt you to drink it, so why not try it!

Answer

Red raspberry leaf tea does not induce or cause contractions. It is however great for uterine health and regulating hormones. It strengthens and tones the uterus so that contractions are effective for when in actual labor. I’ve been drinking it since trying to conceive so for about 7 years. I drank it all throughout my last pregnancy- had a 14 hr uncomplicated, unmedicated labor- pushes maybe 20 min/6 pushes. Contractions were extremely effective. I’m currently 27 weeks and have been drinking my tea all throughout as well. You’ll get get the best benefits from long term use.

Answer

I drank throughout my whole third trimester. Baby came in 4 hours with 3 pushes (2 mins). I stayed active during pregnancy which I’m sure helped but I think the tea definitely helped as well. For a first baby my doctor told me my labor was ridiculously fast 😂

Answer

Nopes, drank it all of my third trimester on top of staying active and I still had a 30hr Labor with 3 hours of pushing. Though I did recover quicker 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I don't think it does, my OB told me tea has not been proven to induce labor.
With my first born I was very active which is what I would recommend. I was in hard labor for only 15 minutes, pushed 3 times and my daughter was welcomed into the world.
