Raspberry Leaf Tea

I had both since 37 weeks pregnant but still end up with C sect after unsuccessfully inducing twice. Don't take dates if you have gestational diabetes as it's very sweet, otherwise the fibre content is really good if you have constipation issue. I had the dates both before and after giving birth and had no constipation issue at all. I'm now 10 weeks postpartum and still drinking raspberry leaf tea regularly since it's said to help with uterus recovery. Not scientifically proven but my sis drank that to help reduce period cramp and it work wonders. So I figured there's no harm drinking the tea. Plus it's caffeine free so safe for breastfeeding too.

I would rather have scientific proof of such claim. I’ll check with my doctor on this issue and see what science says.

never heard dates and longan during confinement spicy food and sex is what i know can help to induce labour :)

Agree that you shouldn't consume anything that has not much scientific proof. Do consult your gynae ya. Take care!

I often made longan and red dates tea for my wife during her pregnancies and both delivered on due date.

I drank dates but it did not help in inducing.. In the end i still have an induce labour.

I heard tt too. Six dates a day frm 36th wk. I think im gna try it soon😂

Didn’t heard of this. Is this safe ? Anyway, all the best for your delivery!

Hi... please do not self medicate. It is best to let nature take its course

I had dates starting from week 37 but it doesn’t seems to work for me
