raspberry leaf tea??

[babymama1992]

Im 35+2 weeks.. So ive been told raspberry leaf tea helps bring on contractions? Is this true and can i start drinking it now? I know she will come when the time is right but anything to speed this up would be great these last weeks are just getting me down with cramps, heartburn, restless legs. I just want my little girl here now. Please dont judge.
