I thought raspberry tea was good for pregnancy and started to drink raspberry zinger for the last 3 days only 1 cup a day. Just read that it can cause miscarriages. I now have stopped drinking it. Should I be worried

    Raspberry LEAF tea can. And it thickens the uterine linning. I took it when I was ttc. Look at the ingredients. if it has raspberry leaf stop drinking it. If it is raspberry flavoring it's fine.

    Plus you have to drink a lot of rasperry leaf for it to have any effect. 3-4 cups a day.

    Oh and raspberry leaf tastes nothing like raspberry. It tastes like black tea. Hope this is all Helpful! I did a lot of research on it while TTC.

    Sorry to hijack but what about blackberry leaf? One of my favorite herbal blends has that so I stopped drinking it.

    Blackberry leaf is also not recomended. I try to stay away from most herbs while pregnant unless I know for sure what they do because they are not as researched as most people think. Just because it's an herb does not mean it is safe during pregnancy.

    With most things it requires abundant amounts of consumption to be an issue.  If it makes you feel better, stop drinking it, but don't stress about what you've already consumed.  

    That being said, when/if a m/c occurs, you can not go back and obsess over every little thing because the odds are incredibly in your favor that it's cause (the m/c) was completely out of your control.

    Raspberry leaf is associated with uterine toning, not the fruit. That said, when the leaf is sometimes associated with loss, it is dubious. The more frequent association in herbal/holistic healing care is that it strengthens and tones the uterus in a beneficial way, even in early PG. Many midwives encourage patients to  drink RRL through the entire pregnancy.
