Cold raspberry leaf

[hopefulmummy]

Ug, why won't this baby arrive?! Just wondering...for raspberry leaf to be effective do you have to drink it hot? I brewed a cup yesterday then put it in fridge. Much nicer in this hot weather.

How many cups are all you other ladies drinking? Xxx

I was wondering if drinking it cold does the same job too! I don't see why not though? Still getting all the goodness from it..

I'd been having 2 a day but started drinking 3-4 a day, I loveeee it How many have you been having??

Hi, My doctor told me that it doesn't necassarily bring on labour, it relaxes the muscles around the Uterus in preperation for labour and it is effective after baby is born in helping muscles to get back to normal. I understand it is to be drunk hot, but whether cold or hot changes effectiveness I am not sure. I have some; but to be honest I am not drinking it that much. I plan to do some serious cleaning while I am of work, so I hope that excersise will hurry things along..

Hope this helps.. x

I thought it was just good for the uterus. a bit like uterine exercise! OK, well i will keep drinking it cold until I see the midwife on weds, my due date, and then I'll ask her as well!

thanks ladies xx

Haha I actually love the stuff n drink prob to much!!!

I have to makes I have tesco own witch is 50% rlt

Also I have mama tea which is a blend but not to be drank till 38 weeks as in some cases can bring on labor, very different in taste but I love em both

Also mama tea is specially formulated for us preggers ladies so works with ur body AND wait for it it's on offer usuall 3 pound a box of 20 bags to a pound

I've heard mixed that after a section I should/ shouldn't drink it bit after the horrendous birth of my son I'll take my chances

As for warm or cold, should think it would matter coz u can take capsules n there not warm hehehe x x x x x

i can't stand it hot so i let it cool in the fridge and chug it. i usually brew it stronger and then i only have 1 glass..
