Red Raspberry Leaf Tea

meg193

Is anyone drinking red raspberry leaf tea to prepare their uterus?  If so, how much do you drink and when did you start drinking it?  I have read mixed opinions on when to start with some articles saying it could cause a miscarriage if taken to early.  That doesn't make since to me since it is suppose to tone your uterus and not make it contract.

My midwife encouraged me to go ahead and start drinking it. Didn't say how much, but I'd assume a cup or two a day would be plenty.

When I was pregnant with A, I started drinking it after my 37wk appointment.  I think I did two cups a day, but sometime had a third (I really liked it.)  My MW didn't give me a specific amount, but I was afraid to overdo it.

Where can you find it?

My MW want me to start right away and even gave me some. Pretty sure you can't overdo it, they said several cups a day.

I found it online and I think they also sell it at whole foods.

I found it online at Amazon in pill form -- would that work as well as the tea? The reviewers seem to think so, but I wondered I anyone had heard one way or another from their MW or OB.

I drank three cups a day starting in the third tri.

I've found it at Target and my local grocery store.
