Does drinking red raspberry leaf tea from 28 weeks to delivery help strengthen uterus and shorten labor??

Question

Answer

Red raspberry leaf tea strengthens the uterus so that contractions are effective during labor. It helps regulate hormones and can help with uterine recovery after birth. You get the best benefits from long term use as in starting at the beginning of pregnancy if not before. I’ve been drinking it since trying to conceive so for about 7 years. I drank it all throughout both of my pregnancies. First was a 14 hr labor, 20 min push time. 2nd was a 4 hr labor 5 min push time. Contractions were very effective for both and I healed very quickly after both as well.

Answer

Yes, it strengthens and tines your uterine muscles so that your contractions are more effective. It definitely does NOT induce labor. I drank it with my first from like, 20-something weeks on, I think. Once I got to the pushing stage, I pushed for 12 minutes and she was out. 8 pushes, through 4 contractions. I highly recommend it.

Answer

First pregnancy I didn't drink it, I was miserable. Iv meds didn't seem as if was doing anything (absolutely refuse epi because of previous back injuries) and I wanted to die every contraction for 18 hours. 
Second pregnancy I drank it from 20weeks on and the worst contractions felt like the easiest ones in my first labor. It was still 18 hours, but nobody knew I was in labor as we were walking the mall and shopping. A holister employee was even joking that they've never had a water break in their store, and I burst into hysterics cause it was a huge possibility 😂 I didn't want to go to the hospital cause I "knew" they were going to send me home, but I was at 6cm and had him 3 hours later.

Answer

I may be wrong but I'm sure it's that you drink that's meant to bring on labour?? 🤔 
I'm sure it's raspberry leaf tea that's an old wives remedy to get labour started...
