Raspberry leaf tea

[CathyandHeathcliff]

Can I take it if I’m possibly having a c section? It hasn’t been confirmed yet as it’s due to non medical reasons. But if I go into natural labour, I want to give myself the best chance.
Thanks.

I’m no doctor or herbalist but raspberry leaf is to soften your cervix so I’m guessing it’ll do that whether you actually use it or not.
I swear by the stuff but I had three vaginal births

I'm not sure it would be beneficial to you right now BUT it should really help with post-section-recovery, in getting your uterus back to the right size. Would recommend checking with your midwife, although if you say the reasons for your c-section are not medical, it seems unlikely the raspberry leaf tea would have any negative effects at this point.

Basically, check first but (and as with previous poster I am no doctor) from what I've read it really can only do good for you.

Ask midwife but I swear by the stuff. My due date is today and I’ve had 2
Cups a day since I was 33 weeks,had it with my second too,no tears or stitches either xx

Do you mind if I jump on and ask where to buy? I looked at Tesco but couldn’t see any

I got mine from Holland and Barrett xx
