Pregnancy-poll poll i am 11 days over my due date,i have never been medically induced and don`t want to be.i took castor oil with my first 2 at 40 weeks plus and had them both that night,the castor oil didnt work with my 4th and i think i would be sooo sick if i tried it again,so thats out of the question!!!!!my hubby is getting me some raspberry leaf tea and i would like some feedback if you have gone into labor through drinking this tea.

My child birth educator told us that Jasmine will cause labour to start.

Oh you poor thing! I have read the rasberry leaf tea is more for toning and not for inducing labour. Oregano and Basil have properties that may cause contractions, though it is not yet known how or in what quantities. Other essential oils called Labour oils are supposed to induce as well but I couldn`t find anything specific around it :(

Hey supernatural! All the comments are right- red raspberry tea is a uterine toner- I drink it all throug my pregnancy. I did start taking blue cohosh in very small doses at 36 weeks with my first, but it is a known labor inducer. There is some controversy in the medical field over in the U.S. about it- it think it`s just a means of making more money in the medical world- scare women into thinking pitocin induction is the only safe way- any way, research it. Hope things go well!

hey thanks all for your comments but hubby didnt find the raspberry leaf tea anyway,lol.

rasberry leaf tea doesnt induce labour...it just assists the contractions by strengthening the uterus. goodluck though

Hmm, not sure about that tea. Howeve, I think that I read somewhere that walking brings on labor....good luck!!

raspberry tea leaf is not to help u go into labor it helps tone your uterus kind of like a workout from the inside except u r not working out

I don`t know anything about rasberry leaf tea but I hope it works for you because I feel your discomfort!! Good luck!

  1. Ok - why are women so terrified of forceps? I thought it was something fast and simple to get the baby out and didnt cause any excess pain. But the more Im reading up on a lot of these blogs on here I am seeing that a lot of you women had a really bad experience with forceps and refuse to use them again. Can someone explain the process of using forceps and your experience if you have one? Also what about the suctioning? Thank you!
