Raspberry leaf tea experiences?

Question

Did it shorten labor?
Did it bring on labor?
How much did you drink and from what week?
I’ve heard a lot of conflicting stories and one website actually said if you drink too much it can bring on too intense contractions and the baby can end up in distress. What the hell? Others say it helps strengthen the uterine muscles and reduce the time in labor. I’m so confused 🤷🏼‍♀️ does anyone have any experience with this?

Answer

It doesn’t bring on labor. It tones your uterus so that your contractions are more effective. I drank it everyday of my third trimester and I only had to push a couple times for my baby.

Answer

I asked my ob beforehand. She said that there wasn't any evidence that it can help or harm and i could use at my own discretion.
At 30 weeks i had 1 cup/day 
At 32 weeks,  2 cups/day
At 34 weeks 3 cups a day
At 35 weeks 4 cups/ day 
37 on- 5 cups/ day 
I also exercised my whole pregnancy and spent several days at the pool and walked nearly everyday. I went into labor on my own at 39 weeks 5 days. I progressed 1cm/hour on my own. I only needed a small intervention because i stayed at 8cm for a couple of hours. From the time i realized i had contractions to birth was a little over 12 hours. I don't know if RLT helped, but i did have an amazing birthing experience!

Answer

Pretty certain it doesn't bring on labour.

Answer

I drank it for two days straight I think about 3 cups and bang full blown labour

Answer

I drank one cup a day during my third trimester and had a total labor time of 6.5 hours and VERY effective contractions. It can't hurt to do if it might help your labor!

Answer

Not sure about how it helps/effects labour yet as I’m overdue and to be induced on Monday so I’ll keep you updated, but as far as bringing on labour and contractions as you’ve probably guessed since I’m overdue I for one would say it definitely doesn’t in my opinion lol.

Answer

I drank literally gallons of it at the end with my first and it didn’t even give me twinges.
