Another Raspberry Leaf Tea Post!

pachamama92 · Mar 19th, 2012, 11:21 AM

Anyone care to share how much you drink? I was drinking one cup a day from 36 weeks, now I've upped it to 2 cups a day at 37..it's only 50% Raspberry leaf, and is really quite addictive!

Not sure if I should be drinking more for it to work though!

Also anyone have any luck with this in the past (not for starting labour process but for making second stage quicker?)

I started on 1 cup a day at 32 weeks, now I'm on 3 at 36 weeks.
I would increase to 4 but I don't know how I'll fit it all in!

this is mt RLT plan

32-34 weeks 1 cup p.d
34-36 weeks 2 cups p.d
36-38 weeks 3 cups p.d
38+ weeks 4 cups p.d

mine is also the 50% one its made by clippers

I'm using the same schedule (and brand) as karla! It is actually quite yummy, but I do wonder just how potent the clippers stuff is! I've heard that the 100% stuff tastes pretty nasty, but surely it's more effective? I'm not too sure I'm drinking enough for it to work!

Thanks ladies, I think I may up my dosage to three cups a day! I've got the Heath and Heather stuff and it is very yummy!
