Raspberry leaf dosage

[Julie84]

I bought some capsules from H&B (400mg I think) but completely forgot about them!

Is it too late to start now for them to have the desired effects during 2nd stage and postnatally?

Also, what sort of dosage should I be thinking about if I am still in time?

Baby is due in 2 weeks and 4 days!

I didn't start taking mine until I hit 37 weeks in case they worked to well and I went into labour early.

I think I took double what it said to take on the tub and I had Poppy at 39+4

Oh good thank you. I think it says 3 to 6 capsules a day on it so I'll start with 4 and see how I go.

39+4 would put me at Christmas day - Neil would be very unimpressed!!

FWIW they don't bring on labour. They help the second stage when it comes to the big push. So taking a few too many isn't going to cause you to go into labour early.

Up to 6 a day in the final few weeks before baby is due. I took two with each meal.
