Please ladies dont use this until  later weeks in pregnancy,there are so many mixed reviews.is it really worth taking the risk.the fact you have gotton this far.do you really need it.there are other natural herbs you can take.ive had 7 losses.tried every single thing possible trust me.im now 21 weeks thanks to the use of fertility tea.which you also stop when confirmed pregnancy.can tell you i use a herb called welcome womb,this helps calm the womb,and is said to prevent mc,im an example of that,so point being dont take what you dont need.it isnt worth the risk.

Wise Woman Herbal recommends it's use for the entire pregnancy to strengthen the uterus  and to even help with morning sickness.

thanks for the infor. I thought it was to help during labor to make it go faster......not to help induce labor...my bad...lol again thanks for all the infor!!

it is advisable to wait until the 32nd week of pregnancy before trying raspberry leaf tea as there is a concern that consumption before this time in the more fragile, earlier stages of pregnancy could lead to problems. Once you have reached the 32nd week of your pregnancy you could begin with one cup of raspberry leaf tea a day and gradually increase up to 4 cups or tables a day (although this may vary in accordance with the strength of the blend and the manufacturers instructions).

While there is no guarantee that raspberry leaf tea will help speed up the labour process, if you like the taste it might just be worth a try.

Do not drink it in early pregnancy,it does work to tone uterus whilst preparing for pregnancy,but in pregnancy itself,it causes contractions.which we dont want.alot of women use it to induce labour,its recommended not drink it until past 36 week.

the box says that you can use it all during your pregnancy to strengthen your uterus or while not pregnant to regulate your menstrual cycles. i bought organic raspberry leaf tea from super supplements....i think it would have to be just the plain organic kind so it has nothing else in it but the raspberry leaf...i think the snapple stuff would have lots of other things like sugars and stuff. idk, i havent been drinking it regularly becuz some people have got me freaked out saying itll bring on contractions lol plus i think it tastes kinda yucky!

i bought mine from the bulk barn!! Or a health store! I dont think the one your talking about is the same one! Its bitter..how far along are you? SOme say not to drink it unless pass 36 weeks as it can bring on contractions...i drank it when i was 38 weeks up and it really helped with my contractions durning labour!!
