Raspberry leaf tea

[claireo]

my mate suggest i started drinkin this at 37 weeks as its ment to bring on labour, she did with her first and went at 38 weeks, my cousin did with her 2nd at 39 weeks and went the next day. the midwife told me it was ok to drink but NOT before 36 weeks.
has anyone else had any experiences with this? or is it all aload of rubbish?

hi i brought my raspberry leaf tea last week and i have three cups a day. with my first i did the same people told me it ''brought on'' labour but i found out this time it doesnt it just prepares your uterus and makes labour quicker. must have worked the first time round as my little one only took 1 and half hours from start to finish. just dont go overboard on it is my opinion. xx
good luck xx

my god that was a quick labour. i googled it and alot of people have said its helped during labour, will give it a go, was told to start with one cup a day then eventually build up to 4. thanks, good luck with yours xx
