Thoughts on raspberry tea?

Question

Thoughts on raspberry tea? I’m 34 weeks and was going to start drinking a cup a day. I asked my doctor about it today but she hadn’t really heard about it. She said to start it around 37 weeks. But the research I’ve done says to start at 33 to get better results. If you did this, when did you start and did you benefit from it?

Answer

I just started at 34 weeks

Answer

Everything I’ve read or heard said 33-34 weeks!

Answer

Im buying some tomorrow to also start. I heard it might not necessarily help with labour but it definitely helps with shrinking your uterus post partum!  Either way im down to try it

Answer

I like it. It’s got vitamins and other things I that can help tone your uterus, a bit like doing squats for your uterus. I’d start with 1 cup and work up to 3 cups by 37/38 weeks. You can have it iced too

Answer

I've been drinking a cup a day since 33 weeks. I plan to add two cups at 35 weeks and 3 cups a day at 37 weeks

Answer

I tried it once… it’s nasty 😂 definitely recommend adding honey or making it iced with lemonade or something. Because On it’s own it’s GROSS! (Sorry I’m not helpful with when to start. Lots of conflicting opinions out there on it).

Answer

I’ve drank it with my past three pregnancies and plan to start it with this one in the next week. I always start out with 1 cup a day around 33/34 weeks. Then up it a cup every week. It taste like weak black tea to me, I typically add a little sugar or honey to it. Idk if helps or not though really lol I mean my last two labors were under 8 hours from start and pushed for 3.5 minutes with one and 1 minute for the other. So maybe some of that was because of the tea, who knows.

Answer

I drank it with my first starting at 32 weeks one cup a day then upped it to 2 cups/day when I was 36 weeks. I don’t know if it helped but My water broke and I had my daughter at 39 weeks. I’m trying it again this time because I have to be induced at 38 weeks so I figure it would be nice to kick start things myself if possible. 😂

Answer

It’s pretty nasty and I didn’t think that it helped much. But it is fun testing out all of the old wise tales about inducing labor
