hi all,

can somebody tell me where I get raspberry leaf tea and how soon before birth I should start to drink it?

thx, Angie

Hiya, you can get it from most health food shops etc, i bought mine online!

You can drink it from 37 weeks onwards ! x

sorry for asking, but what is it for? just interested.

It is supposed to tone and strengthen your uterus in preparion for the birth !! didnt do anything for me though ! lol

might not really help, but even the placebo effect will work for me

it never helped me either, tastes pretty mingin too lol!

If you don't like the tea you can get capsules instead

I bought mine from holland and barrett and i used the tablets instead of the tea. it work for me, only 10 minutes of pushing.
i started taking mine from 34 weeks (cos im impatient!) and increasesthe dosage every week.
Id recommend it, if it doesnt workit wont have done any harm

Yup, about 36 weeks. Its a uterine stimulant so just dont drink it anytime when you wouldnt want to have the baby:P

I took the capsules because I didn't like the taste of the tea. I think I took 2 morning and evening from 36 weeks. I only has a 2 1/2 hour labour in total, I don't know if the raspberry leaf had anything to do with it but it's got to be worth a try! I'll definitely be taking them again next time.

I got mine from Holland & Barrett
