Raspberry leaf tea..help!
Hi ladies,have any of you started taking RLT?I did post in pregnancy asking about when you can start taking it & what peoples opinions are of it..overall most people seem to think its good so dont see the harm in trying it?Went and bought the tea bags yday however im now worried about whether i can still drink it because im booked for an induction at 39 weeks?What do you think?I tried getting hold of my mw today but had no joy..typical!I want to start drinking it asap but now i dont know if i can & its annoying,im not due to see mw untill next thurs but that seems like ages to wait..i keep thinking what harm can it do even if i am booked in for induction and end up going in to be induced surely RLT can only be beneficial either way?Hope youre all well anyway ladies,xxx

I can't see why an induction would make a difference you still have to push your baby out and thats what it's meant to help with isn't it?
I know the tablets come in two different dosages, but I wouldn't have thought the tea did surely it'd be like normal tea stronger if you brew it longer. I don't know though I finally got round to looking up where holland and barret was, (I knew I'd seen it somewhere but couldn't think where) sadly it's at the far end of town (still easily walkable, I used to do it without thinking), I can see me not getting it till I go to debenhams to be measure for a nursing bra.
I've been having one tea a day for the past 10 days or so, and I think I might up it to 2 a day (when I remember) from tomorrow as I'll be 37 weeks (!!!!!!! full term!).
Greesh - yep I just want to meet him now, I'm uncomfortable, I can't sleep and I'm dying to just give him a cuddle, Hubby is too every evening and every morning he ask's him if he's coming out to say hello soon. It's lovely that he's excited, but it's not helping my patience.
Good luck with going into labour naturally, I keep having dreams about being induced because he's stayed in there too long and I'd really rather not.
