Ok, I'm seeing where some of you have used this stuff. I've done some research & some say it's not good to use until the last stages of pregnancy. Then some say it's ok to use early on. When did you start drinking the tea?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Red Raspberry Leaf is good to take/drink ALL the way through pregnancy. The only time I've seen any Real negatives about taking it is if the mom is prone to pre-term labor or has an irritable uterus or something. RRL has properties that help tone & strengthen the uterus similar to Braxton-Hicks contractions (so that's why some healthcare providers are nervous about it).
My only advice would be to start slowly (1 cup per day, or 2 capsules per day) and go from there, IF you are 100% comfortable with taking/drinking it. If you're not for whatever reason, wait until later in your pregnancy.
I've taken RRL capsules for 12.5 yrs now, non-stop, all the way through 3 pregnancies & breastfeeding, and now through another pregnancy. I've had a lot of kids, so I'm taking 9 capsules per day now (and may go up to 12 in a few weeks). My 2 biggest concerns are helping to prevent hemorrhage (the more kids you've had the higher risk you are for hemorrhaging after birth), and having an efficient labor & birth. It worked for my other 3, so I know it'll work for this one.

OH, a couple of other excellent reasons to take RRL during pregnancy (even if it's just the last trimester) is that as it helps tone & strengthen the uterus, it's helping the uterus work more efficiently... which means less after birth blood.... and the other one is that RRL helps boost milk supply, so if you're taking it before the baby is born, your milk will probably come in quicker and more plentiful after birth.

I drank pregnancy tea last pregnancy, which has red raspberry in it, until near the end and then switch to red raspberry leaf straight. I start in the second trimester, although I am a little behind this pregnancy so I am going to go make some now.

I'm not a tea drinker, so I think I would prefer the capsules!
I think I will wait until a bit later to take it though. I'm a little sensitive about these things.

You can find the tea (usually) at any health food or herb store. If not, google "Traditional Medicinals Red Raspberry Leaf tea" and you will find a bunch of places that sell it online.
HTH!
