From what I have learned, the rasberry tea leaves wont cause you to go into labor, it just tones and prepares your uterus. It is as good and healthy to drink it week one of pregnancy as it is at the end and even afterward. Def drink it, it taste great, and is useful, but it wont cause you to have your baby the next day or anything. But it might help to start to dialate and efface. The best way to stimulate labor is sex, long walks, and castor oil... although the later didnt work at all for me and i dont recommend because the experience was horrible

elliexx - 1282 days ago I am 33 weeks and took the first tablet today, my midwife recommended them but maybe i shouldn't be taking them so early, think i will be speaking to my midwife tomorrow as i don't want to go into early labour!

During pregnancy you are supposed to stay away from so many herbs that I am surprised they dont reccomend you take them as you get closer
