  RRL is a uterine toner and not intended to produce contrax.. but no, I don't think you can drink too much.

  It is believed that drinking too much pure hibiscus leaf tea can cause contrax, but I'm not sure about how much is "too much".  I drink 3 cups a day.. pregnant or not.  It has a ton of health benefits.

  I have heard the farther you are in your pregnancy you can up your intake to 3x a day! I would say around 34or 36 weeks up your tea drinking.

  I've heard that it doesn't actually help unless you've been drinking it since like 18 weeks. You're supposed to start off drinking a cup a day, 5 days a week at 18 weeks. Then at 27 weeks go to two cups a day 5 days a week. 32 weeks 7 days a week, and at 38 weeks 3 cups a day 7 days a week.

  My naturopath has had me drinking one cup a day per trimester (so 1 a day in 1st, 2 a day in second, and so on). It can't induce labor (except in very very high quanities), but I have noticed that since I started to consistently drink 3 a day (just in the last week because I haven't had time til now), I've been having BH - which I wasn't before.

  I also mix mine with nettle leaf (both are loose leaf), because nettle is a source of iron, and I haven't had any trouble with anemia yet this pregnancy, which is unusual for me - so I'm a big herbal tea fan!
