Raspberry leaf tea/tablets......

[dianedue27thjan]

Anybody had any experience of it?
Mum told me to give it a go & I bought some today - will it work? are there any side effects?

help.......i'm fed up

Are you meaning will it bring on labour? If so then i think no, raspberry leaf tea is supposed to help soften the cervix, and can be taken from 35/36, but as for bringing on labour, i don't think it'll help hun, sorry!

Thanks for the reply!

Do you think I'm safe to take the tablets then???

As you can see I'm due on Saturday & would like a nice soft cervix!!!

Good luck, hope your LO arrives soon!

Thats funny hun, I NEVER took Raspberry Leaf and I was only 2 days over and you were well over a week overdue werent you??

Isnt it supposed to be the other way round? Probably a coincidence
