Red Raspberry Leaf Tea?
Anyone drink this during pregnancy? My SIL gave me a box, said she drank it through her entire pregnancy. I've heard of ladies drinking it while TTC. The box claims its good for reproductive health and especially for pregnant women. What do you think??

I drank to help get pregnant, but stopped when I got my BFP, because I wasn't sure if I could drink it. I've heard of women drinking in their 3rd trimester.

Re: Red Raspberry Leaf Tea?
i've been drinking it pretty much the whole pregnancy... some people feel better waiting until the end of their 1st tri to start. i started with one cup daily, now i drink 2 daily.. but thinking about making it 3, if i can manage drinking that much tea!
my midwives suggested drinking it. it is supposed to help tone your uterus..
btw, how was your sister's birth, i wonder if it helped at all?

I drank it, but not really regularly. I've heard you should drink it during the 3rd trimester. I also read that you should drink a really strong cup (steep for like 45 min) at the onset of labor. I drank it on the way to the hospital with my second and had a super quick and easy labor and delivery. Who knows if it helped, but it can't hurt.

yeah I have heard the same about it 'toning' the uterus. hahahaha sounds so funny 
my SIL had to have a C-section, but her recovery has been quick and good. shes going back to teaching yoga 8 weeks after the baby!
good luck!!
