    Raspberry leaf tea in 3rd pregnancy

    I drank it from 33 weeks in both previous pregnancies. DS 1 5 hr labour, DS2 3.5 hour labour. Good effective contractions. No pain relief or intervention!!
    Now 33 weeks with twins but not sure whether to drink it.... What do people think? I really want a natural delivery... But don't want to put the twins at risk from a precipitous labour..... V muddled about this...

    Congrats with your baking twins

    When did you deliver your previous children?

    Id say as it is twins and theyre usually earlier why dont you wait another 10 days or so make them nearer 35/36 weeks from conception/scan dates ..IMO just to be safe

    I would agree with waiting until at least 35 weeks - that's what was suggested to me by the naturopath at the health food shop when I bought some. He said its safest to wait until after that point - and I was only baking one!
