Red Rasberry Leaf Tea try round 2... anyone else have experience with RRL tea??

Question

Ok. So I posted when I was around 27/28 weeks how RRL tea made me feel a bit nauseous and gave me intense Braxton Hicks/cramps down low... so I stopped drinking and felt better. 
Well I thought, hey, I’m 34/35 weeks now, I will try 2 cups a day of iced RRL tea and see what happens. First day I was fine! No nausea or anything. I drank more today, and have been resting for the most part, but here comes the intense Braxton and cramps! I’m laying down and hydrating but they are constant and just irritating... not painful. Is that what it’s supposed to do? Do I just roll with it?? 
My question is, has anyone else drank it and experienced the same thing? 
This is my second pregnancy. My first I had my baby girl at 38 weeks naturally in 10 hours. 
Maybe I just don’t need to “tone” my uterus? Lol idk.... 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Answer

The weird thing is I had BH when I drank it with my first and this time around it doesn’t give me any BH and I drink like 4 cups a day. I was induced with my first and progressed very quickly.  I like to think it was my “toned” uterus from the RRL.

Answer

It’s supposed to cause Braxton Hicks. It’s toning your uterus.

Answer

It gives me BH also. But I think that is what helps. Not 100% sure. I make mine very strong.

Answer

I have read that if you had a quick labor before then you shouldn’t drink it. But it also causes BH for me although not intense at all. 
Could you bring it up to your OB/midwife and see what their opinion is for if you should drink it? 
If nothing else maybe it’ll be something you can use to kick start labor later on down the line

Answer

This is why I’m nervous to try it because I already have bad BH lol
