From what week can you use raspberry leaf tea?

I cant for the life of me remeber . I thought it was about 32 weeks but if someone could remind me that would be great

Yes I think it is from about then. But don't put too much hope into it working - with my first child I drank so much of the stuff and made it so strong I was literally GAGGING on it for WEEKS - then had a horrific 56 hour labour. So that didn't work. Sorry.

From 36 weeks - not before.

ah right. i have the tablets so hopefully they should be better.

32wks has been shown to be safe and effective by a clinical trial based in Australia (looking at 2400mg per day of the tablet form).

I've been taking the tablets from 33 weeks, started off with 2 a day, now up to 5 plus 1 cup of the tea a day. I'm 40+2 now, no sign of anything happening, but I'm hoping that when the time comes they will have made a difference.

in my 'new mother's book' it says 'a few weeks before due date' So I guess thats about 3/4 weeks?
