Question for Midwife (Allen) or anyone who knows
My SIL took rasberry leaf tablets from 32 weeks and has just gone full term. She is good friends with a midwife who suggested this to her.
Now I was going to do the same, but then someone said to me that the bleeding that I had early in pregnancy I would be high risk of premature labour anyway. Is this right. I mentioned it to my gyno and he forgot, but wants me to have a scan at 34 weeks to check things out.
So do u suggest I don't start taking these tablets until I have the scan at least???
Who knows I mighten be high risk and if I am not would like to start taking these tablets if you think it is safe????
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Oh and just to explain the bleeding, I discharged brown from 5-8.5 weeks with a couple of days of red (appeared it was a sub-chorionic haemorraghe), then all was well until 11.5 weeks where I woke in a pool of red blood and passed a clot the size of my palm and cramped. Doctor suspected I had an early placental abruption??? So I then discharged brown up till 14 weeks and haven't seen anything since.
Thanks in advance.
