Red raspberry leaf tea?

Question

Has anyone heard of drinking this in your second and third trimester to make labor and delivery easier?

Answer

I'm planning on start drinking it at about 32 weeks 2-3cups a day
After 36 weeks 5 cups or more

I'm starting at 32 weeks bc it takes weeks to build in your system

Answer

My midwife stared me on NORA tea, which has red rasberry leaf, at 20 weeks. We'll see what happens!

Answer

I've been drinking it from the beginning. I used it even before I fell pregnant to regulate my cycle and we got pregnant first time we tried. In the first semester it helped with my morning sickness. In the second trimester you shouldn't drink more than 2 cups a day and only if you've spoken to your midwife or Gyno. In the third trimester you can drink 3 cups a day but again only after you get the OK from your midwife or dr. The tea causes the uterus muscles to smooth and strengthen in preparation for your labour which means they don't get as tired as quickly and because they are strong they can work harder which CAN cause a shorter labour. If you think of it like any other muscle it makes sense. If you don't work out for ages and then do some exercise your muscles are so sore pretty quickly and if you keep pushing and pushing those muscles end up in agony. So drinking the tea is like little work outs that build strength in your uterus muscles so when it comes to that massive workout it's strong and prepared and not exhausted after 5 mins. The tea is no guarantee but every little bit helps 😃

Answer

I don't think you should drink it in your second trimester. Maybe wait until your last 2 weeks or so before you give birth.

Answer

Yes. I tried it with my 3rd baby.. it may or may not have anything to do with the fact.. but my labor was only an hour long. We got to the hospital (30 minute drive) was just started to dilate .. with in a few minutes she was born.  I didnt drink it with the next 2 and both labors were about 4 hours.
