I also read that some women believe it helps them to regulate irregular periods so it might help in that sense too. However, all of this info isn't heavily evidence-based/researched, so just keep that in mind! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/raspberry-leaf-tea-tea-recommendations#post-119178 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 10:48:41 +0000 eastcoaster 119178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NYCaliMama: interesting! so these aren't for during the TTC time then? thanks for the info!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/raspberry-leaf-tea-tea-recommendations#post-119096 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 09:55:29 +0000 SAHM0811 119096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Red raspberry leaf strengthens uterine tone. It's not believed to induce labor. Rather, it's believed to strengthen uterine muscles so that when one has contractions, they are strong and efficient (which could in turn mean a shorter labor).</p> <p>I had a pretty fast labor with #2 and my contractions were insanely strong. While in labor (no meds) I was cursing myself for drinking so much red rasp leaf tea!!! LOL. Not sure if it played a part in it though since you tend to go faster with #2 anyway, but my contractions were extremely strong (stronger than with my first). I was so happy though to have had a short labor in the end!!! I drank 3-4 cups of iced red rasp leaf tea a day starting at Week 32. Some women start later though per their midwives/OB's. It's supposed to also help tone your uterus post-partm as well, but I was too busy drinking Mothers Milk tea and water to fit it in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/raspberry-leaf-tea-tea-recommendations#post-119049 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 09:26:40 +0000 Nskillet 119049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Red raspberry leaf is rumored to help with labor I think? The others are for breastmilk production/increased supply. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/raspberry-leaf-tea-tea-recommendations#post-119035 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 09:21:07 +0000 eastcoaster 119035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Nskillet: Sorry, dumb question here...what does that stuff do? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/raspberry-leaf-tea-tea-recommendations#post-118130 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 12:46:51 +0000 Mrs. Pen 118130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought my red raspberry leaf/mama's brew off of the bulkherbstore.com, they also sell a mothers milk mix with fenugreek in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/raspberry-leaf-tea-tea-recommendations#post-118082 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 12:13:22 +0000 SAHM0811 118082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Red raspberry leaf...
