Raspberry Leaf Tea

[Dragonfly Fi]

well, i am at the end of my second week of RLT today, upping the dosage to 3 cups

definatly has lots of iron in it, which i am having a bit of trouble with as constipation is such a pain Still i think its good because i have a blood test on Monday which will test my iron levels so i know that all is fine there which is good!

I have noticed something else extra good about the rasberry leaf... it seems to be doing wonderful things re - needing to wee all the time, it seems to be toning my urethra as well as my uterus which is fantastic

instead of getting up every hour or so for a wee and subsequently a drink in the night, i am finding i am sleeping 6 or so hours before having a big wee its given my bladder a whole new lease of life

which i am uber happy about, it has basically reduced the amount of times i need to wee by about half though i still wee the same and drink LOADS

anyone in the third tri who is struggling with the mild incontinence thing, i would definatly reccomend it, i havent 'leaked' nearly as much this week!

38 weeks and started my first cup today! a bit late but haven't been able to get round to holland and barratt much! i'm excited lol xxx btw 'cause i've started late when do you recommend i go up to 2 cups? after a week or maybe less?

Wow Ria not long to go now then honey, not sure about how many cups to drink as I haven't tried it myself now, I too need to get round to going to holland and barratts! I do like the idea of not needing to get up as much for a wee, I wake every hour for one thing or another and am getting fed up now, so this is def worth a go for me x

i slept for six hours last night before getting up for a wee
God bless the cloud cover AND the raspberry leaf!

not long for you either katie, 5 weeks :O ooo does it stop weeing as much? that's good! i get up same time every morning to go for a wee.. like 3/4 or 5am. so annoying! well a box of 50 tea bags was 2.99, not bad eh? couldn't find tablets in our holland and barratt though.. xxx
