Any of you ladies try red raspberry leaf tea during pregnancy? If so, when did you start drinking it? I’m 23w5d and was planning to start drinking a cup a day until 32 weeks, and then start drinking 2 cups a day, and then at 36 weeks start drinking 3 cups a day along with eating 6 dates. What did y’all do?

@beccaaalynnn11, did you have previous miscarriages or any problems with your pregnancy? Or was it a normal pregnancy? It’s not advised to drink it if you’re having anything other than a normal pregnancy and have had a miscarriage.
- I asked my doctor about it and he told me not to take it. That it would put me into premature labor.. I had my first son without anything.. I didn’t take any special herbs for that. Unless sleepy time tea counts 😅 love that stuff. The smell relaxes me.
Hope it works for you
@beccaaalynnn11, no. It prepares your uterus for labor and makes it very easy and painless. I’m having a completely unmedicated natural birth. You should look up the affects of it on labor. If you’re 39 weeks and drink like 4-5 cups a day it would likely jump start labor. But I’m just wondering when I should start drink a single cup
- Is that why you’re wanting to drink it ? To cause contractions and labor ?
Since that can cause contractions I would ask your doctor to see if it’s safe for you 😁
You can definitely start now! The sooner the better. You can also eat dates if you want now too, they're great for you. Sounds like a plan tho 😁
With your first pregnancy most doctors recommend you let your body do the work it needs to
