Red raspberry leaf tea did it work for you?

Question

Any success stories on it making your labor easier ?? Not necessarily putting you into labor but I’ve heard many theories that it can shorten labor and pushing time !? What was your experience. When did you start drinking it & how much? I read it can cause stomach cramping/contractions

Answer

I started drinking it at like 36 weeks 2 cups a day, I’m over 40 weeks now so when I finally give birth I’ll let ya know 😂 it didn’t cause any cramping for me it did however give me looser stool which was a bonus for me because I was never constipated

Answer

My midwife told me to start drinking one cup a day in second trimester, 2 cups a day at 28 weeks, and 3 a day at 34 weeks.  I couldn’t handle one cup without a lot of cramping so I didn’t do it at all lol

Answer

I started drinking several cups a day at 30 weeks and it did nothing. I had a very long labor and 3 hours pushing time. So I won't be forcing myself to choke it down again this time since the only thing that did happen from it was excess braxton hicks.

Answer

I started around 35 weeks drinking a cup or  2 a day. I labored with contractions for about 5 hours and to 6cm before they realized baby was breech and I needed a c section. I was not in terrible pain while laboring and hadn’t yet considered an epidural. 🤷🏼‍♀️
But my OB said I labored beautifully and complimented my uterus several times. 😂😂
Maybe it was the tea??

Answer

I’m taking it as well. Started 32wk I’m 35 weeks now. I’m hoping it does shorten my labor😭

Answer

I have nothing to compare it to, but I’d like to think I had a pretty labor, delivery and postpartum experience. I was “complement” by my doctor for how fast I progressed during my induction. I was supposed to have a foley balloon for 12-24 hours and then start pitocin but I only needed the balloon for about 3 hours and no pitocin. I can’t say it was 100% the tea, but my contractions were obviously getting the job done and helping me dilate. I pushed for a little over an hour.

Answer

I started drinking it I think around 32 weeks or so. My labour was short and relatively easy, didn't have to push long at all. I'll definitely be trying it again for this pregnancy just in case lol

Answer

No idea if it worked or not but I took it all through third trimester and I had a easyish labour but I don’t have anything to compare it to

Answer

I started around 36 weeks. Gave birth at 39+5 labor was long but only 35 mins of pushing, no rips or tears. First delivery.
