raspberry leaf

[cherylcusack]

Has anyone been taking raspberry leaf tea or tablets, im thinking about taking them but not sure how to go about taking the tablets.

i know they say wait until the 32 week

also did anyone take them and has now given birth and thought they helped in labour?

I am drinking a cup a day at mo, and in a few weeks i'll move it up to 3/4 cups a day.... i think it tastes ok, but then i like herbal/fruit tea.

Hiya!

I bought the tea yesterday..much cheaper than the tablets and when I looked on the tablets info, it says you can make tea out of the tablets by taking the capsule apart...so it's just a smaller amount of tea in the tablets for more money!!??

The tablets also say to ask your midwife first..has anybody done this?

I have some 640mg tablets but unsure how many to take? Help!

Think I will actually go for 2 x twice daily for now LOL

I've been taking it the last couple of days in the hope that it sends me into labour....but nothing yet.

When i bought it from the chemist though...she said that you musn't take it before 37 weeks...in case it sends you into prem labour...but not sure if thats true

I actually quite like it though

I'm going to get the tablets I think as I don't always remember to drink liquids

tablets are simpler - all gone in one go

I've drunk gallons of the stuff and have the tablets too. It's done bugger all I've got 900 mg tablets and it recommends 2 a day. I have to admitt that I've taken a few more than that and still nothing

If u read the other thread on it...don't think it kick starts labour, but its 'supposed' to make your uterus stronger...so pushing should be easier... fingers crossed

I doubt i'll bother trying.

Hope it works for some of you laydees.
