Raspberry leaf tea

[maybebaby3]

When can you start taking it and how much a day? I keep reading conflicting info! Thanks

32 weeks it says on my box. I have started drinking 1 cup a day and will up it to 2 cups at 34 weeks and then 3 at 35 an 4 at 36. I really hate the taste of It lol

OOo I will be buying some, I thought you started it later than that.

I had a really quick pushing stage last time and the MW said the RTL would have helped x

my midwife recommended it from 35 weeks but because I'm breech she has warned me off it full stop

Sprinkle a little bit of sugar in with it, it helps the taste!

I started drinking it from 28, one cup a day.
I will be increasing by one cup every 2 weeks.

Everything I saw online said 32 weeks, but when I researched papers published and studies done, people were taking it from 12 weeks. With no ill effect.

Everyone says different times so I think you need to research and asses yourself!

Took it with my first from 34 weeks., Ended up near 2 weeks over due induction and emerg c section anyway. Never brothered with second .

I started it at about 34 weeks, just because I had trouble finding it. I drink 2 cups a day now. It's hard enough to remember, I would do 3 I am just so busy.

My midwife said strictly not before 36 weeks and not at all if you've had a prior c section.

My midwife said 38 weeks so I start the capsules tomorrow - although dd came at 38 weeks exactly

Yeah apparently it can increase braxton hicks, it did that for me last time!

I was shocked how quickly my body reacted to it, thought first time it may be coincidence but second time I thought it must have something to do with the tea. I bought mine in holland and Barrett but most health food shops should have it in stock.
