"This herbal tea is supposed to tone and strengthen the pelvic muscles. This will help your contractions be more efficient during labor. People who use red raspberry leaf tea say it results in a shorter labor..." http://pregnancy.families.com/blog/red-raspberry-leaf-tea1
When I was pregnant with James I started drinking this tea 2 weeks before he was born. My labor with him was so much shorter then with the other 2 kids. We got to the hospital and he was born within 3 hours. I pushed 3 times and he was out. Also, my recovery time with him was much shorter then it was with the other 2.
I don't know if it was the tea that helped, but I am drinking it again (started on Thursday, 2 times a day). I honestly believe it helped me with James! It can't hurt anything. I have read A LOT about Raspberry leaf tea. It does NOT put you into labor...that is just a myth!! Although at this point it would be ok if I did go into labor. :) We are ready. I am just hoping and praying for another short labor. And, I am hoping to make it to the hospital in time for the epidural. :)
Well I think I am going to go right now and brew myself some tea. I'll let you all know what happens! :)

yeah you'll have to let me know how that works with this baby....
my first thought is that James was your last.... so it's quite possible that the more you have the easier, etc... but then what would I know! mother of ONE!
hee hee
So deff try it again and let me know! Can't hurt I suppose!
Hope it helps, and if not, you got something warm and yummy to drink(you like the taste of it right? I'm not a fan of tea so I wasn't able to tell if it was a good tasting tea or not)
You're lucky! I wanted to drink it with Lily, but Phil was ademant that I only do what the dr. said.
Maybe with the next one, he'll relax a little. And it would help if your tea didn't put you into labor but just helped your labor to be short and sweet again. Like, if Phil heard that you drank a cup and then went into labor similar to J. G., then I know he'll for sure be against it again with the next baby. :)
So, do you think raspberry cream coffee would help? Hee hee - just kidding - but if you want to come over sometime for some coffee, you're welcome! :)
