When to start raspberry leaf tea?

I didn't drink raspberry leaf tea but i did asked my midwife about it when i was pregnant. She suggested that i should drink it after 36 week.

I had a successful VBAC with my daughter. I started it at 37 weeks with my last pregnancy. I drank 1 cup per day until birth. Went into labor at 39 weeks.

Not until 36 weeks at the earliest. Start with one small cup and see what effect that has on you as if it causes strong uterine contractions then you could ease off to half a cup and potentially not have more than one a day.

I was quite bad with sticking to it as I absolutely hated the taste!
Started with one cup at 37 weeks then gradually increasing. He came bang on 39 weeks so I had two cups a day x

I saw somebody else say they made it up with boiling water (strong) then let it cool and added it to lemonade? I’m the same, I only drink tea, nothing fancy 😂 Don’t know if it’s as affective mind x

I wouldn’t have thought to do that 😂 I added sweeter which made is slightly more bearable xx

I started at 32 weeks x

There are no studies the show RLT can cause premature labor, I started at the beginning of my second trimester, 2-3 cups a day

there is zero reliable evidence that raspberry leaf tea induces labour. i drank it everyday from 32 weeks with my first and still had to be medically induced lol. i’m almost 29 weeks and drinking it because i love the taste

It says you can start from 32 weeks but I thought that was too early so started after 34 weeks with my first. I’m 35 weeks tomorrow so will be starting it soon. I only had a cup a day; it doesn’t induce labour though.

I started drinking it from 7 weeks until a week ago.

@Abby its funny you mention the induction cause I was also induced lmao

Evening primrose oil vaginally though, I started at 37 weeks, during my induction I dialated from 5cm to 9cm in 45 minutes
