Raspberry Leaf Tea

[SiarasMummy]

Quick one, how much Raspberry Leaf Tea should I drink for it to have any kind of effect?
I bought a pack of the teabags today, am I meant to constantly drink it or just a couple per day?

[Arimeh]

I had about 2-3 cups of tea a day. Any more and it made me feel sick.

I took the tablets, but def think it helped good luck

Loose leaves are better than the bags. As much as you can handle really. I am taking the tablets this time. Much easier.

the tea tastes like dirt! next time i'm going to get the tablets

I got the tablets too. Last time I took the tabs and drank the tea but just the teabag style with cranberry and other yummy flavours in it as well. I don't think the tea helped because of the low concentrate but I believe the tablets helped DD to turn and then helped get my uterus back into shape afterwards

yer i hate the tea too! im taking tabs this time, started off with 1 a day now taking 2, upping them each week till im taking 4 a day

I had a few a day. The night before I went into spontaneous labour, I had three MASSIVE mugs of the stuff in the evening alone

[Taurean]

where do you ladies by the tea from??

From a health food store

[jaspen]

thanks Taurean. I thought that might be the case since I tried my local supermarket and chemist and they didn't have any. My nearest health food store is 200kms away so it will just have to wait I spose.

[Taurean]

Jaspen - maybe try online

What effect are you expecting? It's just a tonic for your uterus, won't make you go into labour

[WannabeMum]

Yep, with MadB - wont induce labour, research shows it will shorted 2nd stage labour (pushing) and assist your uterus with contracting back to normal post delivery. I didn't get to 2nd stage with DS, but my uterus was back to normal pretty quick smart Good luck!

I just ordered some tablets from vitamin warehouse online. I am interested in taking them but still dont know much about the stuff :-)

I took the tablets as well, couldn't drink the tea
I believe they helped during the birth as well Good luck!!
