The lipton stuff is raspberry, not raspberry leaf.
That's one of my favourite flavours as well. The raspberry leaf tea is the one that people use in the third tri as it supposedly strengthens smooth muscle and makes your contratcions more effective. So the raspberry should be fine - I would drink it without any qualms.
If you want more opinions about the raspberry leaf tea - there's a few discussion threads in the third tri general discussion. Personally, I am a fan.
I have a tea with raspberry in it too (Wildberry Zinger) and I had it without worrying. I'm onto raspberry leaf tea now and trust me, they wouldn't be using the leaves to add yummy flavour!
Yeah the Raspberry Leaf Tea MAY bring on contractions. I've been using the RLT tablets and they have been fantastic - i can feel the difference just in my BH... But the Lipton tea shouldn't be a problem.
Have a h&h pregnancy.
I've been drinking that exact same tea all through my pregnancy (i'm 21 weeks) and everything has been normal for me so far. Mind you I'm not a big tea fanatic, so only been drinking it about 1-2 times per week. It's not rasberry leaf, its just rasberry!
