raspberry leaf tea

in 3rd Trimester

Has anyone tried this?  I'm told it is suppose to prepare the uterus for birth and may even help start labor?

I figure it can't hurt.  Just wondering if anyone has heard anything about it.

    You can get it at any natural food store.  I don't know if regular grocery stores sell it or not

    Another question: would this help stimulate already happening contractions into "real" contractions? I've been having mild contractions since yesterday (not the first time this has happened) and it's getting so frustrating. Would drinking this kind of kick them in the butt so get stronger/turn into real labor?

    I'm torn on what I think about inducing labor naturally, especially before my due date. These constant contractions are just killing me though...

    I dont think it actually "starts" labor. I know a lot of girls drink it thru-out their entire pregnancy to "tone" the uterus.

    I have had a cup a day since 12 weeks.

    I drink it my entire pregnancy, it only tones the uterus. It does not bring on labor.

    Traditional Medicinals at Whole Foods sells the best tasting Red Rasp Leaf Tea.

    Yes, RLT is herbal and a uterine toner. RT is raspberry flavored tea.

    I've been drinking it.  I got it in the natural section of my grocery store.

    I drank a pregnancy tea that had rasberry leaf in it, and I had the worst BH for the rest of the afternoon/evening. My midwife thinks it was the rasberry leaf in the tea. She said its fine- I can keep drinking it - I have to decide if I want BH or not.

    I'm choosing - not.
