I don't think I'll be drinking any more "pregnancy tea."  The first two times I tried it I hurt afterward.  Then I drank it 2 more times to see if I felt any differently.  Yes, sometimes I can be stupid.

I get really really achy almost crampy after drinking this tea.

Hmmm...  I wonder how it 'strengthens uterine walls' if not by causing some sort of contractions.  Unless lesser tightening of your uterus isn't considered contractions?  I mean, that is how you strengthen muscle, and I'm sure where your cramping is coming from.

raspberry leaf is supposed to help induce labor...

I'm sorry you hurt!

I'd always heard that red raspberry leaf best/safest for third tri because it tones the uterus by "teaching" contractions.

I've never heard that it hurt people though.

Perhaps some chocolate would help counteract the pain?

I've been drinking that kind for weeks...  I've been through at least 3 boxes.  Sorry pixy.

Ouch!  That really sucks.  I my Pregnancy Tea.  Perhaps your uterus says it's toned enough on it's own. :P

That is an old wives tale. 

But sorry you're having a bad reaction to it Pixy. =(

This. I was told to avoid raspberry leaf until full term because it can help bring on labor. :-/
