Raspberry Leaf Tea

[lotsta]

Hi,

Just seeing if anyone has heard of the benefits of drinking raspberry leaf tea whilst pregnant? If so, whens the usual time people start drinking it and how often? Can I start now, 22 weeks pregnant?

I took some when I was about 32wks onwards (ob said not to take any earlier as it can sometimes trigger a prem labour) and I don't really know if it helped. I had a few cups of tea (maybe 1 or 2 a day, it tastes quite nice) but I suspect the tablets might be the better way to go, because then you know you are getting the same dose each day.
