I didn`t drink it with my first 2 pregnancies and both were about 6.5 hours. I did drink it in the last trimester with my 3rd. I was 6 days late. My water broke at 1:30am, contractions started just before 2:00am, and she was born at 5:26am. It was 4 hours from start to finish so I would like to say the tea made my labor go faster. I think I only pushed 3 times. I am drinking it with this one also. I am due at the end of June.

I drank so much raspberry tea I swear I turned pink (no really but.. lol). I drank it because I wanted a strong uterus. I went to 42 weeks so it OBVIOUSLY didn`t help with bringing on labor! I had a c-section but my uterus shrank very very quickly- enough so that my nurse made several comments about it!

i couldnt drink it, it was sooooo nasty!!

Thats ok, I`m not wanting it to induce labor:) I`m still only 31 weeks. Just wanting it to tone my uterus. It supposedly has a lot of other benefits too like assisting in colostrum production and being high in vitamins. Ive had 3 easy labors but for some reason I`m worried this one is going to be harder.

I can`t even tell you how many cups I drank a day during my 3rd trimester. My labor was long but I only pushed for 17 minutes! Tastes SO yummy! But it WILL not induce labor.

it doesn`t induce labour, just strengthens your uterus. I used it before I was pregnant during periods and it helped with bad cramps, I also used it the last 3 months of both of my pregnancies, my first labour was 5.5 hours and second was 2.5 hours. I believed it helped.

I drank it 2-3 cups in the last trimester. I got the leaves from a new age store near my home. I brewed a whole pot and would drink it hot/ cold it was yummy! I labored for 6 hours and pushed for 15 minutes! I feel it helped tone my uterus and aided with my delivery. It will not induce labor! I was 5 days late.

I think there is a lot of misinformation about what Red Rasp Tea is supposed to do, or perhaps there are just alot of really pregnant women out there looking for ways to induce labour and will literally do anything to make it happen, lol! I found it useful as a uterine toner and avoided it in the first trimester as is suggested. I drank it faithfully from week 20 on and as advised by my doula, I increased the number of cups towards the final few weeks.

  5. OMG, I posted on FB (in reponse to a suggestion made to me on From Our House To Yours) that I didn`t like a business because the items were very expensive and my friend got a bad deal there and the owner is threatening to sue me! Have you ever heard of such a thing? I actually paid a consultation fee and my lawyer told me that she was `absurd with possible mental health problems.` I am protected by the fisrt ammendment to express my honest opinions freely where I choose, but he said she can take it to court(because people can TRY to sue over anything) anyway and that it might cost me legal bills. We will both be out a lot of money because she couldn`t possibly win. Can you believe that? FML! First my records and now this! I hope my baby isn`t a bad luck baby. I see people not recommending or recommending businesses all the time on FB!

  8. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.

  10. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
