Hi all. I'm currently taking two raspberry leaf tea capsules (375mg each) a day. I'm 38+2 days today and was wondering if it's safe to increase the dosage to 4 a day instead of 2? The label says not to take more than the recommended dosage, but I've read loads that say people take more than 2 375mg dosage. Thanks in advance for your help.

Don't take more than the stated dose without first consulting your GP or midwife.

No! Fast labour can be really scary, I wish I had never touched the stuff tbh.

Agree with notunder. I had more than the recommended dose of raspberry leaf tea, and ended up with a very quick labour, it was terrifying and something I don't want to repeat. Currently pregnant with number 2 (very early days, 6 weeks + 4), and I am not touching the stuff this pregnancy, and wish I had never touched it with my first.
