Safe to drink Red Raspberry Leaf Tea?

Question

Just turned 37 weeks. Would it be safe to have a cup of red raspberry leaf tea every night? Has this helped anyone get things moving along?

Answer

I want to start drinking this tea too but I'm scared since I'm 33 weeks and my first was born at 34 weeks I want to keep this baby in my belly longer than that!

Answer

Girl I've been drinking it for weeks already and I'm 37 weeks as of today! It's great for your uterus in general, I would say stick to a cup a day and as you get closer to your due date increase to about 3 cups a day. I typically make a large batch and make iced RRLT. My sister whose had four natural births swears by it.

Answer

Red raspberry leaf tea is great to take! Start off with one cup a day, then increase to 4 cups by 39-40 weeks. It does NOT cause labor, however it helps tone your uterus. In other words, it does not cause contractions. IF you are having some but they are inconsistent/irregular, the RRLT will either cause them to be effective (i.e. Dilate your cervix- if and only if they are real contractions) OR cause the contractions to stop. This is a good way to tell if they are real contractions or not.

Answer

You can start a cup a day in the third trimester and increase by 37 weeks you can have 4 a day.  I think it helped with my first!

Answer

I'm 36 weeks and just started having 3 cups a day! The box says 1-3 a day in the third trimester, so I drink 3 ;) with my first daughter I started around the same time. I progressed really fast for a first baby but of course I can't prove if it was the tea. However I'm giving it a shot again this time ;)

Answer

I'm gonna start drinking it next week at 36 weeks :)

Answer

Started it at 28 weeks this pregnancy as personally, I believe it didn't help before because I started to late.

Answer

I found it helped me with my last pregnancy, it made the pushing stage of labour so much shorter. I went to buy some from the health food shop the other day and the man there told me not to use it until 10 days before my due date 🤔 not really sure when I should start drinking it

Answer

I've been taking raspberry leaf tablets since 28 weeks and have just started drinking raspberry leaf tea last week (36 weeks) as well. I'm now on 2 tablets a day and 1 cup of tea a day and will be increasing to 2 cups a day from Sunday (37 weeks). I'll be continuing to increase cups a day each week until I reach 4 cups a day. This was recommended by my ob last pregnancy and has been recommended again by my midwife this pregnancy.

Answer

A specialist told me not to start using it until 10 days before my due date
