Raspberry leaf tea

May I say I have never drank this before, however this morning I got the okay to try and self induce. I knew it was a midwives tale, but I’ve been doing labor inducing exercising videos and drinking tea all day. Also had rough sex hoping it would help things along, while doing laundry and household duties along all of these other things, I got a few contractions here and there. Since I’ve settled down and stopped moving a bunch the contractions have started and I’m wondering, is it real or is raspberry leaf tea a laxative?? 🥲 we’ve already lost our bloody show, although, I’ve seen many mommas say it didn’t indicate anything. I just don’t want to waste time running to the emergency room for false alarms. I haven’t been timing, just waiting for them to get very noticeable before hand.
