The reason why experts advise pregnant women to drink raspberry leaf tea:
While raspberry leaf tea is generally considered safe - not likely to bring on premature labour nor to affect the baby - there are a couple of things to watch out for.
“Apart from some women really not liking the taste of the tea, there do not seem to be any side effects for either mum or baby,” says Fitz-Desorgher. “So although the study didn't show a big difference in the length of pushing times between the 'real thing' group and the placebo group, it might just be that, as well as reducing the likelihood of going overdue, raspberry leaf tea might also slightly reduce the chance of forceps and ventouse.”“I drank raspberry leaf tea two to three times a day every day from 36 weeks labour with both my kids and I had very quick 2nd stage labour, with no intervention, tears or grazes,” she says.
