3rd Trimester

Red rasberry leaf tea

When did you start taking the tea pills? Is it safe around 28 weeks?

Re: Red rasberry leaf tea

  • No. The purpose of RRLT is to help tone the uterus to produce more effective contractions. I would not take the pills or the tea concentration until after 38 weeks. The same is true with EPO (Evening Primrose Oil capsules). The pills/tea can make BH intense and uncomfortable.

  • I started at 32 weeks with tea. No experience with the pills. There is not a lot of research in this area but doctor told me it would not cause me to go into labor but would assist once it started.
  • i was past my due date so i started taking it hoping it would help things along since my doctor gave me a week before she was going to induce me.
  • All 4 of my midwives said it's safe to drink any time. (Unless there's a history of preterm labor.) My OB that I used with my last pregnancy said the same thing.
  • I've always been told the same thing by mine ^ one even said "RRLT is good for anyone with a uterus!" I was drinking it the whole time we TTC and haven't stopped. I've never heard of the pills though
