rasperry leaf tea? Experiences anyone?

[mrsmnk101]

Im just over 38 weeks and ive been drinking rlt every day numerous times. The strength of the leafes are 30% but it seems to have no effect on me what so ever. Has anyone actually gone into labour or had some sort of action from drinking it? Im starting to think it doesnt work at all. X

Hi mrsmnk, it’s not supposed to induce labour I’m afraid and most don’t have any side effects. It’s meant to tone the uterus and so aid in a quicker delivery. I started with the tea at 34 wks but moved to the pills when it came time to up the dose as couldn’t drink that much in a day! Fx we have a good story to tell post delivery (I’m 39+3) x

please update this after your labours. I've already bought some tablets to use when my time comes

Oh i see, hopefully my labour wont be the full 12 hours like the last two. X

I drank it in my last two weeks. Baby came one day early and labour started with pains around 11pm on the Sunday night, waters going around 3am and hospital an hour later. I didn't get checked til around 6am-ish and they surpringly said I was fully dilated. Baby was born 06:48am. Wouldn't like to say it was the tea though, maybe more of a coincidence. Xx

How many pills did you start with and how often did you increase dosage?

Ive ordered mine too.

I didn’t start with pills, I started with tea but if I was going to use pills I’d probably start at 1 a day for a couple of weeks and then increase that by 1 weekly. I take 6 a day at moment so we will see!
