Did you have RASPBERRY LEAF TEA during pregnancy?

Question

Just curious how did everyone's delivery turned out after drinking raspberry leaf tea?

This was what I expected; "One small study found that women who drank the tea regularly towards the end of pregnancy had a shorter second, pushing stage of labour. They were also less likely to have a birth assisted with forceps. "

What actually happened; I had at least cup a day since week 34, had my baby a day after due date with 2nd degree episiotomy & vacuum (fetal distress) after an hour of pushing and over 24h labour ftm.

Just wanting to hear how did everyone else go?

Answer

Yes and I had a 33 hours labour....did nothing for me. My labour was excruciating....I know they all are but had complications and all sorts

Answer

I had a cup a day starting at 37 weeks, gave birth at 37 weeks 6 days. Woke up with strong labor pains at 3:30, got to the hospital at 4:30 and was 9 1/2cm dilated but pushed for two hours before baby was born at 7:29am. No assistance needed and not even time to have the epidural I wanted! 😓

Answer

Drank it obsessively from about 25 weeks to help my uterus "get ready". A cup a day and more as I got further along. I had to be induced at 41 weeks, had almost 60 hours of labor and nearly 3 hours of pushing. Pretty sure all that tea did absolutely nothing.

Answer

I had 3-4 cups a day starting at 36 weeks. Delivered at 40 weeks with 5 hours of active labor (about 8 hours of early labor before that) and had 40 minutes of pushing. Who knows if the tea had anything to do with it, but those are my stats.

Answer

I had 3-4 cups a day starting at 28 weeks. I went into labor at 11/3 (due 11/15) around 1am on 11/2, lost my mucus plug for the 5th time, experienced my bloody show from 1am until 9am when I began experienced my first real contractions that were 6 mins apart, by 10am I was 2 minutes apart. I went from being dilated from a 1 to a 3 overnight. At 1pm I was admitted to L&D, was at a 6 by 7pm, and a 9 by 9pm. I began pushing at 10:25 and had him at 10:45 on the dot. 
So, my second stage was extremely short for my first pregnancy!

Answer

I drank it! Went from 4cm to 10cm in half an hour 😳 pushed for 1 hour 15 min, 2nd degree tear. FTM

Answer

I started drinking the tea twice a day when I was 36 weeks. 
My labor went smooth sailing. 
3 days past due, did some light walking when I felt cramps on and off and BAM! baby was born. My labor literally lasted like 5 hours. Had to wait 4 hours before I could get admitted because they wanted to make sure I was in labor. 10 mins after I got there it was time to push. Pushed maybe a good 5 times and he was out! Ftm as well

Answer

I started drinking the tea around 30 weeks. I kept a pitcher of it in the fridge and drank a cup or 2 a day. Not sure if it helped but I pushed for 25 minutes.

Answer

I started at the beginning of my third trimester with one cup and gradually worked up to 3 cups a day. Once I hit 10 cm baby was ready to come out immediately and I pushed for less than 10mins

Answer

I didn't drink it but I took the tablets. I don't know if it's coincidence buy I have had 3 very quick and easy births
