Advice on Raspberry Leaf Tea/Tablets

[first1]

I bought a pack of tea from the health food shop yesterday. The woman in the shop said it's safe to take from 28weeks which I have to say, I somewhat doubt. I'm 33+2 and was planning on starting with one cup a day on Monday when I hit 34. Or is that too early still? The packet just says "later pregnancy"

Hi gemcgem.
Consultant for no 3 was lovely, and we lived in the country, 45 mins from nearest hospital, where my waters luckily broke with DC2 (the 25 min girl!) Over an hour in busy traffic, so he was happy for planned induction as I was petrified of giving birth at the side of the road near a field!!!
With DC4 we'd moved, still out in the country though. Different hospital (still at least 35 mins away, more in traffic), but we also knew I had Group B Strep, so needed at least 3 hours IV antibiotics before baby arrived. Again, happy for a planned induction and all went well, 4 hours from start to finish 2 weeks early.
DC5 is due in about 4-5 weeks, they are happy to follow the same plan.
If you had PPH last time, I'd insist on seeing your consultant and demanding a planned labour. tell them your DH will sue if anything happens to you or baby because you couldn't get help in time.
I still swear by raspberry leaf tablets though as labour is quickly over with and uterus back in no time. it's just the rest of my jelly belly I have problems with.
