Does red raspberry leaf tea really help with labor and delivery?

Question

I read from from Mama Natural that it really helps. My sister said it tightens your uterus and she said her baby could feel it. Both mentioned that it drastically cuts down laboring time.

Answer

I believe it does or at least prepares your uterus for it. I had a natural home birth at 38 + 5 with my first and I drank it starting at 32 weeks and I always got Braxton Hicks when I drank it. Who knows if it helped prepare or kick start anything, but I’m doing it again with this baby just in case lol!

Answer

It can’t hurt! Chock full of vitamins and minerals, and if it’s toning the uterus too, all the better.

Answer

I drank that tea religiously during the last trimester of my pregnancy. I wanted to do anything to help my labor be shorter because I was planning a natural birth. My labor was 7 hrs from water breaking to delivery and I was able to go without pain meds. Whether or not that was because of the tea, I'm not sure, but its yummy and maybe it did

Answer

It helps tone the uterus and nourishes it, so it would help the uterus work efficiently if you have taken it long enough.

Answer

I drank it religiously with my first pregnancy and had a short, crazy intense labor with back to back contractions that were super painful. In addition, my baby didn't tolerate the contractions well and ended up with meconium stained fluid. I decided to not drink it with my second pregnancy and still had a relatively short labor, but the contractions were more gradual, less painful and more manageable. This pregnancy, I'll definitely be avoiding it again as I think it made my contractions TOO effective/intense.

Answer

I drank loads of it with my first and had a 35 hour labor.  I had a preemie with my second but if I didn’t, I’d still try it again with my third because why not.
