Raspberry Leaf Tea

[l_maclean]

I've just read some of the scholarly articles on this - and apparently you can start taking it - without significant risk, and in a small amount right from tri 1!! didnt know that!!

Some midwives arent keen to give advice on it, cos they're not trained in herbal meds - if your really worried its better to see if there is a herbalist shop near you.

my friend used it before both of hers and neither one of her labours was more than 6 hrs, no major tearing or anything and she swears it was the tea lol

This has spurred me on to finish this cup of it now! This is my first cup of RLT and I'm really not liking it, euurgh!
