raspberry leaf tea?

[rubyroo]

hi can't remeber when you are supposed to take raspberry leaf tea? have searched web but very different dates stated!! also how much i'm 33 weeks. thanks

I started around 34 weeks, and had 2 cups a day. hth

Did the 2 cups a day work?

Couldn't say - ended up with a c-section!!!!

It depends who you ask, I did from about 36 weeks and had 2 3 hour labours. Having said that my mum also gave birth quickly and had never heard of RLT

I took the tablets from 37 weeks and had had dd 2.5 hours after getting to hospital...definately be using them again with no. 2!!!

i used the tablets from about 36 weeks had four hour labour where last one before was 14 found the tablets lot better than the tea

Took the tablets, ended up with an emergency CS at 40+10 as I wasn't progressing past 7 cms after induction & 9 hours active labour & bub was in distress. Don't know if I'll bother this time.

my friend is a m/w and swears by the tablets - both hers were 2 weeks early. bliss. she's promised me her spare tablets for this time round, my ds was 2 weeks late - not going through that in mid summer!! only after 37 weeks tho - babe not cooked before then!!

used the tea a lot the two weeks before the due date and DD was a week early. who knows though...

thanks everyone will wait a couple of weeks then!!
