*Rasberry leaf*

[norash40]

Has anyone used rasberry leaf either as a tea or in form of tablets? What did you think about it?

Drank the tea from week 34ish and had 4 1/2 hour easy labour at 37 1/2 weeks. Doubt it was just the tea, but would use it again.

It never really worked for me because it turned out baby was breech last time.

Taking the tablets this time but last time I endured the tea because I didn't know about the tablets. It is foul but so much better if you put a bit of honey in it.

took the tabs as i was too afraid of the taste of the tea. went into labour early and although it was long the last bit from 5cm - baby went extrmely quickly and i was only pushing for 20 mins. contractions were very managable too even though they went on for days. baby was born 4 days early in the end although i won't scare you by telling you how many days early i went into labour!

will definitely use them again this time (19 weeks) as it çertainly can't do any harm

i took the tablets with dd2 and was only in labour 3 hours and was 2 days late with dd1 i was 14 days late and induced and had 15 hour labour and ended up with forceps not sure if was this that made difference but would take them again as didnt do any me or baby any harm
