Did any of you use RASPBERRY LEAF TEA/TABLETS?
in Baby
Hi Ladies,
Hope you and your gorgeous little ones are doing well....
I am now 34+3 and am thinking of starting to drink raspberry leaf tea or take the tablets.....my Nan swears by it, having had both of her babies a couple of days early, with no pain relief and only 7 hours of labour.
Now im wondering......did any of you use it to help your labours?? and do you think it worked?? any info would be lovely.
Thanks xxxxx

We aren't planning any more, but if we were I would definitely take it again. I'd also definitely have a home birth as we'd only been at the birth centre for 12 mins when he arrived and he was very nearly born in oh's car!

I suppose everyone is different....
Anymore ladies?? xxxx
Good luck hon. x
They can bring on early labour in some women which is why the dont recommend drinking tea/tablets till later on in pregnacy, just be aware it's rare but better for baby to come as close to 37 weeks as poss.
My mw and I are convinced its why i had such a quick labour and strong conctractions, my labour was 8 hours from 1st contraction to delivery! with a back to back baby!!
It wont do any harm, I was 11 days late so cant see it bringing labour on but def help the strength of contraction in my personal experience.

Research does suggest otherwise so I'd still give them a go next time around and would suggest you do the same, good luck xx
