Red Raspberry leaf tea

I know there was a post on this a week or two ago, but just wondering if anyone has started using it yet? I ordered a couple boxes this morning and will probably start next week! Trying to do everything different than I did with my first pregnancy in hopes for my VBAC!

Re: Red Raspberry leaf tea

  • Started it mid-second tri, with just a cup a day.  We're supposed to up it to 3-4 in the third tri.

    I also noticed that my prenatals (Rainbow Light) have an herbal blend in them that includes RRL.

    From the research I've done it's supposed to help tone your uterus in preparing it for labor! There are a lot of other benefits to drinking it, even for people who aren't pregnant. No caffeine in it but it's also supposed to help boost your vitamin and mineral content, so extra good for the baby. I didn't use the tea when pregnant with DS but after reading about it, I figure I may as well try it with this one and if it helps then I won't be sorry I tried!
