Raspberry leaf tea
Im 28 weeks pregnant and will start having raspberry leaf tea when I hit 32 weeks as I have heard it helps with labour and speeds things up etc
Did any of you drink this tea before labour and did you think it helped? Did it speed your labour up? How much of it were you drinking? Is it worth it?
Thanks

i drank loads of the stuff and took the tablets. i found it didn't help one bit. I went 10 days over and was in labour for 2 days.
Sorry i cant give you better news. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy

Congratulations!! I think it's quite hard to tell whether it helps. I had a c-sect with my 1st, she was breech and my waters broke 10 days early. With my 2nd I drank loats of raspberry leaf tea as I wanted a vbac. Again my waters broke 10 days early but I did have a fairly quick labour - roughly 6 hours in labour and pushed for about half an hour. I don't know if the tea helped as I've nothing to compare it to. Some ladies have long births and some don't. I don't think giving it a go will do any harm anyway! xx

I also drank raspberry leaf tea & I went 11 days over & was in labour for around 62 hours ( I've never actually counted it up!!) so I can't say it helped me too much
Good Luck!
2nd time round I drank gallons of tea and took the capsules, I was in establised labour for 1 1/2 hours and pushing for jsut 12 mins.
If I had another I would DEFINITELY take the rasberry leaf again!
