raspberry tea leaf? help asap
Ive got just over 2 weeks left, am I safe to have raspberry tea leaf
hi there,
i did raspeberry leaf tea the last month of my pregnancy. i took it three times a day steeped for 10 minutes and not squishing the bag. please do some research about it first online. look it up on a bunch of different sites to see how much you want to take and how you want to take it. if you have a herbalist they are great for these sorts of questions.
it helps to ripen your uterus and thus make delivery easier on your body. i believe it worked for me. i hope it works for you too!
congratulations on your new little one!

This is from the American Pregnancy Association website. I started drinking raspberry leaf tea around 25 weeks with my last pregnancy. Have you ever had it? I had to put honey in it to help the flavor.
Are the herbal teas called “Pregnancy Teas” safe to drink?
There are a number of teas labeled as “Pregnancy Teas” or herbs such as red raspberry leaf that are in teas, that are considered to be good for pregnancy. Many midwives and professionals who work with herbs believe that the regular consumption of these teas may help prevent pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia, preterm labor, prolonged labor, and postpartum hemorrhage.

Medical studies have shown that red raspberry leaf can be consumed safely during pregnancy and can decrease the length of labor and decrease the number of interventions used such as artificial rupture of membranes (AROM), assisted delivery, and cesarean delivery.1 Red raspberry leaf also seems to help prevent pregnancies from pre-or post-term gestation (delivering too early or too late).
Herbs Used in Teas
The following are common ingredients you may find in herbal teas. Note that some have a questionable safety rating. The safety ratings given here are from the Natural Medicines Database. More extensive research and discussions with your health care provider will help you make the decision about what herbs are safe for you to use in teas.
Red Raspberry Leaf (Likely Safe) - Rich in iron, this herb has helped tone the uterus, increase milk production, decrease nausea, and ease labor pains. Many of the “Pregnancy Teas” commonly contain red raspberry leaf to help promote uterine health during pregnancy.
There is some controversy about whether this should be used throughout pregnancy or just in the second and third trimester, so many health care providers remain cautious and only recommend using it after the first trimester.
