Does anyone know the pros and cons?

I’m 37 Weeks

38 on Monday.

Scheduled to be induced at 39 Weeks due to growth Restriction.

He was measuring at 35 Weeks this past Monday.

I’m hypoglycemic and small framed. This is my guess as to why he’s measuring small. They think it’s something with the placenta but aren’t super sure.

They want me to try and start labor naturally. So I’m doing a ton of different exercises to try and help. (Not sex. Assault survivor. It is how I got pregnant and now I suffer from minor PTSD)

But I’m also doing things in hopes of making labor easier if I have to be induced. Because I heard induction makes labor and contractions so much worse. I’m dead set on not getting an epidural due to the fact that I don’t want to lose control over my own body and would like to be able to move around while I labor. Plus, while I know I wouldn’t FEEL IT, but I don’t want a catheter.

The plan with my doctor is to only be checked WHEN ABSOLUTELY NEEDED and to have as few nurses in the room as possible when giving birth.

I’m a FTM also.

So basically my question is....

Do you think Raspberry Leaf Tea would be okay?

And what the pros and cons are.
