Raspberry leaf tea

So... What exactly does it do, and why's it such a no no early on in pregnancy. The interwebz tells me it doesn't *start* labor.

(Also, while baby and I have had the talk, we're not trying to start the eviction process just yet. She knows it's coming though, so I think she's packing her bags and leaving a forwarding address with the post office.)

    Ive been drinking red raspberry leaf since the beginning. Its a uterine TONER. Its safe to drink throughout pregnancy.

    This. It tones the uterus, as much as a tea can tone a uterus. It doesn`t start labour.

    Yes, as the other girls have said it is not really a no-no. My midwife said to drink one cup a day during first tri then 2 during second and 3 or more a day during third. It ripens your cervix for labor but will not start labor. That being said you really have to start drinking it early for it to have much effect at all. The dose doesn't start to biuld up in your system for quite a while.

    agreed, not a no-no and it is supposed to tone the uterus.  I have been drinking it.  It kinda tastes like green tea without the caffeine.  My uterus does feel more tone.  I kid.
