Raspberry Leaf Tea
Anyone consume raspberry leaf tea or dates to induce labour/shorten labour? Ive been recommended to take these to help with my labour which is coming soon in a few weeks. What is your advice? Does it really work?
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.
