Raspberry leaf tea Q?

Question

When is it actually safe for baby to come , ive been reading baby doesn’t fully develop until the end of 38 weeks (brain and lungs ) 
I started taking the raspberry leaf tea yesterday and my sister-in-law swears that made her go into labor . 
She took it for a week once at night and then on the actual day she went into labor she took it 2-3 times that day and BAAM had her baby . 
Then another friend only took it for 3 days once a day and BAAAM had her baby lol
They both told me it help them or could it be coincidence... i dont know .
But they both had the babies at 37 close to 38 weeks .
Im just worried if i should wait and let baby cook longer or just give it a try and see if it happens .... 
Note ; im trying for a vbac and doctor told me that they will induce me until 41 weeks if baby doesn’t come on it’s own but warned me that i could end up in a csection . So i really want to dilate the natural way. 
Currently 37 weeks 1 day 
Have you guys experienced or seen baby having problems due to coming before 39 weeks ?

Answer

I started drinking it once a day at 22ish weeks and twice a day around 32ish weeks. I’m now 36+2 and while I do have a good bit of Braxton Hicks, they’re not painful and I don’t feel like I’ll be in labor for at least another week or two. I’ll probably start drink 3 cups at 37-38 weeks. I definitely wouldn’t worry about it putting you in to labor. Your body will start labor when it’s ready, the tea is just to help the right muscles be productive.

Answer

Red raspberry leaf tea won't induce labor. It's to help strengthen your uterus, which makes for quicker, more efficient contractions when the time comes. I do notice an increase in Braxton hicks, personally, when I drink it. I started around 32 weeks and am currently 35+4.

Answer

I’ve been drinking it since 30’weeks almost 39 and nothing. My cervix is very soft though

Answer

I literally started drinking it 3 days ago and my water broke this morning at 36w3d!! Maybe a coincidence but I’m going to say it was the tea lol

Answer

i drank with my second and now 37 weeks started with my third but it more helped my contraction speed and intensity, as i found although i had her early by 3 days the contractions were stronger and progressed more quickly so my first where they took about 12 hours from start to finish with my second they were 4 hours and i found my labour very different to my first literally waters broke midnight short after contractions started 4.15 i had her in my arms and by 8am i was on my way home so i’m trying it this time one cup a day more so i can try and not be at the hospital too long i would say no harm in trying it and i find it quite nice to drink as it’s refreshing xx

Answer

I don‘t think it induces labor, because I‘ve been drinking it since second trimester and still no signs of labor! 35+5 weeks. Maybe it was just a coincidence?

Answer

My mom told me it made her go into labour but I’ve been drinking it (I’m 39wks) and nothings happened, just intense Braxton hicks that have given me false labour lol

Answer

I started taking it at 37 weeks 2 cups a day and I’m currently 39 weeks and it hasn’t made me feel any different but I have heard it works differently for everyone. In terms of baby development my hospital has told me a baby is considered full term by 37 weeks so you’d be fine ☺️

Answer

I don’t think it will make your baby come unless your body is really ready I had it with my second daily from 35 weeks and she stayed in until 41+5. I think if your 37 weeks you would be perfectly ok to start taking it but it depends what your comfortable with :)
