Son out and I want drink this tea but I don’t want it to cause contractions like some”myths” in some opinions that have drank it to induce did it happen or nothing happen??

Answer

I started drinking it at 30 weeks. It won’t induce labor! It strengthens your útero.

Answer

I start drinking it around 30 weeks. It’s met to strength the uterus to make labor easier. Not to induce. It’s a strong earthly tea I drink two cups a day most days with lemon. I’m 34 weeks.

Answer

I drank it from 28 weeks with my last pregnancy and 2-5cups a day and she was not born till 41 weeks. But also had a very fast easy labor and pushed once! With my first I had a 20 hour labor and pushed for over an hour. I personally think it works to strengthen. I am only not drinking this time because I have went in to preterm labor and had to be in hospital for a few days around 30 weeks. I haven’t drank it yet this time and I have been craving it!😂

Answer

My doula told me to drink it and I have been all throughout my pregnancy.

Answer

It won’t induce labour as the others are saying. I took it from 34 weeks or so with my first pregnancy and i was induced with a favorable cervix at 39 weeks (no other signs of natural labour) 
Basically it helped to soften and prepare my cervix.

Answer

I’ve been drinking it for about a week now! I’m 33 weeks, like the other person said it isn’t meant to induce labor. I drink mine at night and usually put a splash of almond milk or creamer in it since it reminds me of black tea and I don’t like black tea lol.

Answer

The only thing that can induce you is medication. There is some great research on raspberry leaf tea, it conditions the uterus to have better contractions and aids in shrinking back quickly after birth.
My midwife has done a lot of research into it and I used it in my last pregnancy, of course do your own research to make sure you’re comfortable with it :)

Answer

I will start at 36 weeks, doesn’t induce labor but prepares the uterus. Worked well for me and friends who suggested it

Answer

Gave me preeclampsia when I drank it 16 years ago with my first daughter now pregnant with my 2nd I’d steer clear of it
