Raspberry Red Leaf tea

I know there are posts about this all the time- but I'm wondering if anyone else has started drinking it...I think it is more or less helpful in strengthening your uterus than causing you to go into labor.
If you are drinking it are you noticing more BH?

Re: Raspberry Red Leaf tea
Thats what I thought, but I was just reading an article that said it would cause more BH...I haven't noticed any more than normal and was wondering if I was just oblivious
It does tone the uterus, but in larger quantities it "supposedly" can jump start labor. I have been drinking a pregnancy tea, which has red raspberry leaf in it, through the makers suggest using it in conjunction with their red raspberry leaf tea beginning around 34 weeks. Which is what I plan to do. Also remember to follow the brewing directions, as with herbal teas that take a longer steep in order to get the max benefit from them.
ETA: I have not had any major BH at all.

Raspberry Leaf Tea to Induce Labor It is important to know that the consumption of red raspberry leaf tea to induce labor does not lead to labor pains. That is it doesn't induce labor, it merely helps to tone the muscles of the uterus. It is known to reduce the pain associated with childbirth but it has no effect to reduce the pain caused due to the dilation of the pelvic muscles.
