Anyone drank raspberry leaf tea at 36 weeks?

Question

I am aware it’s apparently not to help bring labour on, even though some people say it does. I’ve started it a week early this pregnancy at 36 weeks, 1 cup a day. 
I just wondered if anyone started at 36 weeks and ended up going into labour soon after??? (Maybe it was a coincidence)

Answer

I started at 36 weeks and still went to 39weeks. I use it for my periods as well and do notice that it does help alleviate cramps and makes my cycle shorter. I don’t think it did much for me during labor since I still pushed for almost 3 hours

Answer

I started around 36 weeks with my son. Gave birth on his due date. He was a very large baby and the actual pushing stage was not long at all.

Answer

It does NOT help bring in labor. ONLY to strengthen the uterine muscles. If it causes labor they would say not to drink it starting at 32wks.

Answer

I started it at 36 weeks during my first pregnancy and was over due but the pushing stage of labour only lasted 30 mins and no tearing despite having a 9lb baby. I have started again this time around at 35 weeks with one cup a day and will build up to 3 cups by week 40. I have found I get Braxton hicks more regularly after I drink it but could just be coincidence
