Contractions started within hours but my labor was super duper long!<br /> ETA- I made it with real raspberries and steeped it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-red-raspberry-leaf-tea#post-2229684 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 06:51:27 +0000 looch 2229684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drank it beginning around 36 weeks and I don't think it did anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-red-raspberry-leaf-tea#post-2229598 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 23:17:56 +0000 jh524 2229598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did drink it near the end of my pregnancy. I liked it both hot and cold. It did nothing for me in terms of labor though.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-red-raspberry-leaf-tea#post-2229539 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 21:24:54 +0000 MoonMoon 2229539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lilbear: my baby was 8.5 lbs, posterior, and I pushed for under an hour too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-red-raspberry-leaf-tea#post-2229536 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 21:23:03 +0000 MoonMoon 2229536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did, starting around 35/36 weeks. Baby came at 39 w 2 d, and I don't have any complaints about the labor! I can't prove the 2 things are related but... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-red-raspberry-leaf-tea#post-2229404 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 19:45:25 +0000 getjazzy 2229404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loving these responses since I'm 36 weeks and currently drinking a glass of iced version. I didn't like it warm but I mixed it with regular raspberry tea when I steeped it and it's amazing over ice. </p> <p>My first baby was 53 hours of labour, 1 hour of pushing and ended in a c-section. Anything is an improvement on that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-red-raspberry-leaf-tea#post-2229398 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 19:38:59 +0000 Lilbear 2229398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drank 4-5 cups every day starting at 33 weeks. My labor was 37.5 hours long BUT I pushed my 9lb 2oz posterior baby in only 45 minutes! I was 9 days overdue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-red-raspberry-leaf-tea#post-2229235 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 16:53:49 +0000 Miss Ariel 2229235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started around 37 weeks with 1 or 2 cups a day. I went into labor on my due date and had a fairly easy birth, so I guess it may have played a role? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-red-raspberry-leaf-tea#post-2229208 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 16:30:05 +0000 skipra 2229208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took it during third trimester with my second. I think I started with 1 or 2 cups and had up to 4 by the end. I think it may have helped with pushing. Almost 8lbs and out in one contraction! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-red-raspberry-leaf-tea#post-2229198 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 16:23:06 +0000 youboots 2229198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did, but I got induced due to pre-e. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-red-raspberry-leaf-tea#post-2229168 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 15:52:53 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2229168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I drank lots of it. I loved the taste! I started around 35 weeks.<br /> Labor was 15 hours with #2, but only 6 total for #2. My doctor has always been amazed at what a good pusher I was even with posterior babies, so I've always credited the RRL tea and capsules. ;) :-P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-red-raspberry-leaf-tea#post-2229078 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 14:55:28 +0000 Bubbles 2229078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drank buckets of it from about 36 weeks, ended up being induced at 40+1 for prom. My labour was 14 hours which I don't think is considered too long for the first time, but I certainly wouldn't say it was easy! I think I'll do the capsule versions this time just in case it helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-red-raspberry-leaf-tea#post-2228985 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 13:41:06 +0000 NeonPink1234 2228985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did around 34/36 weeks. Labor was quick and easy. I had heard that people hated the taste, so I started mixing it with other teas and then realized that I love it plain with no sugar. A cup or two a day on the days I remembered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-red-raspberry-leaf-tea#post-2228965 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 13:27:59 +0000 Portboston 2228965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Funny...I have a cup sitting in front of me right now! Im 36 weeks tomorrow so Im hoping it helps make my labor quicker!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-red-raspberry-leaf-tea#post-2228959 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 13:24:31 +0000 Anya 2228959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started around 38 weeks. Didn't help to bring on labor as I went to 41 weeks, but I only had 5 1/2 hours of active labor so maybe it helped in that way? I had between 1-3 cups a day depending on how often I remembered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-red-raspberry-leaf-tea#post-2228952 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 13:18:15 +0000 Foodnerd81 2228952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started around 38 weeks or so with my first. I don't know if it made a difference but I really liked it! I made it iced by the pitcher and had a late July baby during a heat wave... So it was really refreshing and helped me stay hydrated if nothing else. </p> <p>I had a pretty uncomplicated labor, though not terribly fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-red-raspberry-leaf-tea#post-2228935 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 13:06:26 +0000 meredithNYC 2228935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did with my second from about 36 weeks on. I was obsessed, drinking 4-5 cups/day and ended up going a few days overdue (despite my first having come a week and a half early!). My labor was pretty quick and easy, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-red-raspberry-leaf-tea#post-2228916 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 12:58:01 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2228916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did, but not until I was 37 weeks w/ my 2nd baby. I don't know if it actually progressed anything but my labor was quick and easy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-red-raspberry-leaf-tea#post-2228909 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 12:56:51 +0000 Keybee 2228909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I asked my midwife, she says it's safe, it's mostly vitamin C, and it may help.<br /> Did you drink it? How much and starting when? Did it help you in labor? If not, what did? </p>
