Red Raspberry Leaf Tea, anyone tried it???

JnetteP · September 2011

I'm 38 weeks and 1 day and a friend of mine just recommended this tea to me. Another one of my friends is currently in labor and supposebly she's been drinking the tea she was 1 day overdue. I've started researching it online and supposebly it helps soften the cervix and help bring on contractions and make labor faster and less painful. Has anyone else taken this tea before? What are your opinions on it and anyone its worked for?

Definitely thinking about purchasing it today .

I took it with my 1st towards the end and I had a 5 and a half hour labour.

I have been drinking red raspberry leaf tea since I found out I was pregnant. It's great for toning the uterus. It will NOT induce labor or soften your cervix, but it will help with the toning of your uterus so you can have an easier labor. It's perfectly safe to drink through your entire pregnancy. It also helps with pms and menstrual cramps. Hope this helps!

Yep, it strenghens the uterus making the second stage of labour hopefully go quicker, it won't induce labour though, although when I do drink it I get random contractions I've been drinking it since 36weeks I'm 38+4 now. And I'm not likeing the taste

I tried everything and none of it works. The baby will come when ready. Enjoy your sleep

Louisesfirstbaba · September 2011

@JnetteP either way it won't do any harm

and will give u and babs lots of nutrients!

JnetteP · September 2011

@louisesfirstbaba I agree wheather or not it works for me its okay I guess because the tea is herbal and provides tons of benefits for my body and baby so either way its a win win situation

plus its not expensive at all might as well try it why not??

Louisesfirstbaba · September 2011

@JnetteP yep! I got mine from holland and barret for £1.49! Cheap as chips

cheekyerin · September 2011

I used the tablets they worked with last 2

JnetteP · September 2011

@cheekyerin at how many weeks did you begin to use it?

Molly · September 2011

Would Snapple Raspberry Tea work? Or Nestea Raspberry Tea?

JnetteP · September 2011

@Molly I read somewhere no because those drinks are artificial and its not actual Raspberry either that the tea contains its Raspberry Leaf which is completly different from the fruit.

JnetteP · September 2011

@Molly the tea is 100% organic.

Molly · September 2011

@JnetteP Oh I see! I didn't realize there was a difference. Thanks!

cheekyerin · September 2011

From 36 37 weeks makes contractions bad but helps delivery

JnetteP · September 2011

@cheekyerin thanks good to know! Did it help you with a fast delivery?

@molly your welcome!

I've been drinking the tea and taking the capsules for the last week...maximum doses! Nothing :-< I'm 4 days overdue. I'm hoping it at least contributes to an easier labour cos it o obviously isn't gonna set me off :-( x

SamiUK · September 2011

Rasberry tea leaf doesn't set of labour, start takin it about 34 weeks, one a day then at 35 weeks 2 a day and so forth until 40 weeks when you'll be on 6(max dose) it helps shorten 2nd stage labour and helps your uterus go back to normal quicker after birth

jennys3rd · September 2011

@samiuk was hoping you'd be in labour now? :-)

SamiUK · September 2011

@jennys3rd i wish! lol had walk, then bath, just had another walking hoping this pain in my back leads to something on my ball now! x

jennys3rd · September 2011

@samiuk no I don't think it does either!!! Lol been taking it constantly for a week and apart from the tea tasting foul, id never have known! Oh I'm so disappointed for you. When they got u in for induction?

SamiUK · September 2011

jennys3rd · September 2011
