Does Rasberry Leaf Tea tone or soften uterus?

in 3rd Trimester
I bought some and just wanted to do a little more research before making it. I am finding conflicting info. Can anyone help clarify? Also is it too late to start drinking it ya think? I didn't want to do anything until 37 weeks.

    I know it tones the uterus, not sure what the impact is on the cervix.

    Thanks, I meant to say uterus. What does toning do? Stronger for labor?

    Yep, as far as I've heard/read it's only known to tone the uterus, making for a faster, easier L&D.

    I've been making it into a sweet tea (with Splenda) along with some regular Luizianne (my regular brand of tea).  I'm not a big fan of hot tea.

    I took this during my 1st Tri since it strengthens the uterus, and am now thinking of doing the same in the 3rd Tri to prep for a smooth (hopefully delivery)

    I hated the tea though, YUK.  I got some of the natural tincture and drink a few drops in water every few hours.

    I've been drinking it since about 25 weeks.  My friend had a midwife who advised her at 40 weeks to start drinking it if she hadn't been, and to drink many cups/day at that point.  I have heard you need to drink it every day, several cups per day, for it to be effective. 

    I'm actually taking the capsules now b/c I was too sporadic with my drinking of the tea.  I take two capsules in the morning, and I will start two capsules 2x/day (4 total/day) tomorrow (36 weeks).  GL.
