Raspberry Leaf Tea

has anyone drank this tea during their second trimester? I started at 30 weeks with DD. It's suppose to strength your uterus and help ease labor pains and make it faster. I honestly have no clue if this helped me or not but my labor was only 5 hours long but I was induced. A friend of mine started drinking it at 25 weeks and it helped her acid reflux. It's suppose to help with morning sickness and bowel issues which I have with this pregnancy. Just curious if anyone has any experience with taking it in the beginning of the 2nd trimester. I won't start till I discuss it with my doctor on the 24th when I am 16 weeks.

    I drank it like the last few weeks with my daughter I plan on drinking it sooner with this one. I'm also gonna try eating dates the last 4 weeks I read that it can help with labor as well!

    I drank it all through the third tri. I also ate Lara bars (date based). All seemed to help?

    I'm all for progressing through an induction faster! Thanks for bringing this up. I'm definitely looking into it. How do you make it taste palatable? I'm not a tea drinker and would prefer sugar - is that doable?

    @Sugargirl1019 it's actually quite yummy you might not mind the taste.  It's a little tart but better then you'd expect.  
    I used this we DS starting 3rd tri and it was fabulous!

    I'll have to look into this! I think I waited too long but I did evening primrose capsules vaginally starting around 39 weeks. I went until 41w3d and had to be induced. I'll be eating dates and drinking tea! Ha

    They have capsules if you don't like tea as well. I usually put honey or agave in my tea if I don't like the flavors. I was just curious how soon would be good. Some sites said 1st tri is ok but some said to wait.

    I tried this with DS but think I started too late. I have already started asking my OB if they will make me wait until almost 42 weeks prior to inducing. I don't want to be that late ever again.

    You can actually start drinking it now.  There are guidelines on how much to drink a day during each trimester but I do not know them off hand.
