Raspberry leaf tea

Did anybody try it ? When did you start and what did you up the cups up to I'm starting today 34+3 1 cup a day and build up to 4? What's people's experience with it? X

What does it do?

 

[slimming-girl]

Strengthens and tones the uterus to give stronger contractions so I have read and friends have recommended it x

Oh I see. So it helps with labour then?

Have you heard about the olive oil to prevent tearing?

 

[slimming-girl]

No but I am doing perineal massage to help stretch and loosen things haha x

I didn't take the tea with my first pregnancy butI did for my second, third and fourth pregnancies. It really sped the pushing stage up for me x

Great did you increase the amount of tea drank weekly I'm starting with 1 cup up to 4 cups over 4 weeks then I've read drink as much as you can but I don't know haha

Yea i increased it week by week to a max of 4 but with my last 2 pregnancies i only managed the 3 cups of it as i started at week 37 and they arrived on their due date. Also for me i found the contractions mega intense but i suppose on the upside its made me labour quicker x
