Is anyone doing the red raspberry leaf tea?? I'm wondering if I should start drinking it

I asked my midwife about it, i think im going to go for it, she gave me this website - and said it was a good reliable resource.

oofda, im not against getting down with hubby, but there is NO intimacy what so ever with it which makes it really not enjoyable ( i feel bad saying that) but it just seems like a chore more than fun. Like you gals said, doggy is the only position that works for us bc the others are so uncomfy. But i hate doing it doggy all the time as i feel sometimes he may like it better bc he cant see my face! i know, im just being pregnant and hormonal thinking that way

Ick, today iv been a little dizzy.... i wonder if baby is growing causing more blood flow? I hope its nothing else! Tomorrow is my 32 week Dr. apt, so im hoping all my vitals etc look good

Just wanted to check in today. I haven't been around much, it's been really busy here and since I've been sick, I haven't been on much.

Just wanted to make sure everyone was doing well!

Hope you are doing ok. Is your pneumonia letting up any?? Sending your way!

 

[duckytwins]

Thanks Sassy! I'm still pretty miserable, but trying to get things done. It seems the coughing has gotten worse (as in, I'm coughing more often). And I started sneezing a few days ago (and that hurts too). I really do hope it's almost over!

I had kind of the same thought about him not seeing my face. It makes it feel a little less personal. Although this morning I have to say thankfully we were able to have a little fun (still no interesting positions) but we were able to lay close enough to each other afterward that there was some sort of that intimacy feeling again. I realized how much I missed feeling him close to me. It was close to one of those sweet movie moments ... until I kept smelling his morning breath and was like yea ok.

I had some dizzy spells this morning too while I was up cooking breakfast for everyone. I wasn't sure what caused them as I haven't had them since very early on.

DH was playing with the baby this morning. He would poke at her and she would roll or kick him back. He kept laughing at her. It was cute.

I sure hope so! I can't imagine being that sick right now when you are already uncomfortable. Not too much longer now. I do hope you get all better before the end.

 

[mellywelly]

Hopefully ducky, more coughing could mean everything is ready to loosen and come up. When ds had it, the amount of mucus he brought up was unbelievable!

 

[Little J]

Ducky- hope things start loosening up in your breathing area!

Sassy- thats exactly what i was thinking too with the dizzyness. I had it at the very beginning here and there and never again until now. Just thought it was odd. I went to get outta bed a few days ago and hubby pulled me back to "cuddle" with me. I REALLY liked that I miss being able to be close with him... especially since our 2 dogs sleep in bed with us. We have a king size bed, but our 80lb black female lab thinks shes a human and steals any moment i can have with hubby bc she HAS to sleep in between us and touch us both. Talk about a cock block

 

[duckytwins]

Thanks melly! Overall, I do feel a tiny bit better. I can get up and make myself breakfast, lunch and dinner. I still get really tired, but then can't sleep.

So this week is gates up dog out of room and living room he's gonna have to learn to b dependent on himself cuz he follows us like crazy he's been out if our bed for months now but he still tries

And he will just have to deal when we have to go out if we leave the house for 5 min he freaks out and tears house apart if it continues he will have to go in his cage cuz I won't tolerate it anymore can't wait till dh puts up gates today

 

[mellywelly]

Just thought I'd share what I found at home!

Yes, I have a strange child! But he makes me laugh!!!

 

[ARuppe716]

Jaime- at my last appt my OB suggested the raspberry leaf tea as well as evening primrose oil. I picking up both this evening... I'm willing to try anything!

 

[duckytwins]

Oh the swelling! All of a sudden, I feel like a balloon animal! My hands look like cartoons, my legs, ankles and feet are so swollen - everything feels so tight! Even my face is swollen!

 

[La Mere]

Melly, I am sorry everything hasn't worked out very well for your DS's party.

Ducky, I hope you the increased coughing loosens up all that crud in your lungs so you can start feeling better. Maybe you should call your dr about all the swelling?

Jaime, I drank red raspberry tea my last pregnancy, have been drinking it since 2nd tri. I also took evening primrose oil starting at 34 weeks and inserting the capsules up inside to help ripen the cervix around 36 weeks. I also took a herbal tincture called gentle birth, made by mountain meadow herbs, starting at 35 weeks, that has red raspberry, blessed thistle, fasle unicorn root, partridge berry, blue cohosh root, ginger root, skull cap, motherwort, wild yam and bayberry root bark. I had a long labor, but it wasn't too rough.

 

[duckytwins]

melly, so funny! I love silly kids!

 

[jrowenj]

Aruppe and LaMere - So, I should start the tea and the primrose oil asap???? EEEEK... I wonder if it's even worth it at this point?

 

[Kaiecee]

I figure baby will come when he comes and I did so much with my first pregnancy and I delivered at 41+ weeks so it didn't help

As long as you dont get an adverse reaction- cant hurt to try!

 

[jrowenj]

I sent my secret santa gift! I have to admit... it didn't fit in the envelope as I went a tad overboard hehehehe
