I might try the capsules ...

My pregnancy bible says you can drink raspberry leaf tea from 32 weeks onwards, so I started to drink mine today.

I like the taste

Is there a max per day?

My book says, you should drink three cups a day!

I will stick to this

A friend of mine was telling me about Raspberry Leaf Tea, she said that women should drink it throughout their pregnancy even in 2nd tri. However, should you only drink it towards the end of third tri?

mickey

as far as I know you def have to avoid the tea in the first trimester, this is even mentioned on the package!

otherwise I only know that they advice in my book to drink it from week 32 onwards

sorry, can't say more

How are you finding the tea Mickey? I didn't mind the taste when I had DD but this time round I think i'll try the tablets - I read somewhere that the active ingredient is better absorbed from them.

I find the tea alright, especially as the weather turned to autumn all of a sudden and I fell ill.

I like to drink herbal and fruit teas in the cold time of the year

I drank it religiously when I was pregnant with Tia as from 34 weeks... All it's supposed to do is make your uterus stronger in preparation for labour, and make your labour faster...

Well I had a 6 hour labour first time and gave birth without induction treatments, or forceps... I can't say it helped with the pain though.

Always conflicting information on things like this isn't there. Does my head in.

I think I'm going with capsules from around 32 weeks
