From how many weeks..

Amy • Mon, May 25 • George Westlake, born July 10. Weight: 6lbs 9ozs. He is perfect! Now for the next part of this amazing journey.. 🌻💙

Should I start drinking Raspberry Leaf Tea? I'm not 100% sure as two different midwives have told me two different times, one 32w & the other 36! When were you advised to start drinking it? Or when did you start? Thank you in advance 🌻

I would say 36. 32 seems way too early. You don't want to go into preterm labor.

I just know I've heard it can. Not for sure.

Neither midwife told me it could potentially induce labour?! I'll wait a few more weeks! Thank you 😊

It doesn't induce labor, everyone calm down. It is suppose to tone the uterus, making labor easier, not start labor. "...have been shown to strengthen the uterine wall, relax smooth muscle, and help to make delivery easier and speedier by helping the uterus contract more efficiently. Historically women have taken raspberry leaf tea throughout their pregnancies up to and including childbirth"

I've been drinking one cup a day since I was 30 weeks. I'm going to increase to two cups a day around 36 weeks.

I've seen various advice. The product I have says 30, the midwife says 32, various others say 34/36. I'm going to start at 32.

I wouldn't do it until your considered full term just bc it can speed the process for some quicker than others everyone is different. So 36+6 & up.
