Raspberry leaf tea

I've just bought some from Amazon, arrived this morning! I've read you can start drinking from 32 weeks, to start with one cup a day and then gradually increase to up to 3 cups. I'm nervous to take it though 😂 might wait until I go on mat leave from 35 weeks x

Ah thank you! X

I started with the tablets from 32 weeks, now 34 and nothing has happened 😂 hope they're working some internal good!

Aren’t we supposed to start after 36 weeks ? This is what my midwife told me so I am now confused

I’ve started this today and I’m 32 weeks. It doesn’t bring on labour it helps to strengthen the muscles in the uterus which contract during labour. It’s mean to help the 2nd stage of labour 😊

I had an antenatal class today and was advised take from 32 weeks, 1 cup a day, and build up each week to a max of 4 cups. She did say thought it’s also advised to work back down in the same order after birth, so it’s a bit of a commitment!
Unsure if that guidance is shared everywhere but it was her suggestion due to its affect on the uterus and post-birth 🤷‍♀️
