Raspberry Leaf Tea

[Lucy]

I drank RTL from week 34 in all three of my pregnancies. I drank gallons of thestuff. (I am odd in as much as I really like some of the more "out there" herbal teas, LOL!Luke warm from a glass was my preference..........)

I literally drank 8 glasses a day, with each pregnancy.

As far as I am aware, no side effects at all. Clear skin & active bladder!

I asked both my Ob's their opinion on taking it, and they both pretty much shrugged as if to say "it won't make any difference either way" LOL, but neither of them gave me any cautionary tales.

I delevered all 3 of my babies vaginally and fast...........not sure if the RLT has anything to do with it, but I did have 3 blissful births........

A lady at a babyshower i was at on the weekend mentioned RTL, she swore by it saying it helped her have an easier labour the 2nd & 3rd time around, although she did say it made her bladder work overtime lol. I was going to find out more about it and if it is deffinately safe i might give it a go.

Just thought i'd add that there is a thread about RTL in the alternative therapies discussion - Raspberry Leaf Tea - BellyBelly Forums ~ Pregnancy, Birth & Baby
