Pregnancy Tea

I've been wondering and researching this same question the last few days. Consensus seems to be that it's safe, unless you have a history of miscarriage or preterm labor. And as you surmised, less is more in the first trimester. I'm going to go for it when I have time to get to the HFS. source

I found a prenatal tea at Babies R Us that contains red raspberry leaf in it. It tastes really good and I'm assuming it has to be safe since they are marketing it to pregnant women. Things I have read about it say it helps with labor by helping to tone the uterus. source

Not that I know of, the only thing my doc ever said was ok for me to take while pregnant was extra strength tylenol for headaches. You know you can call your doctors office and ask if there is anything that you can get to help you sleep. source

I drank the tea in the last few weeks of my pregnancy and i had my baby on his exact due date, whether it helped i have no idea. It didn't, however, help with my labour, which was very long and very painful. source

I voted for other because I am waiting to hear from her myself. I think it may be something completely different than any one of us has theorized. But I don't have faith in the writers that it won't end up being something pretty stinking pathetic and illogical, but we shall see very soon. Here's hoping that there is a very good reason behind it all, which I think is the case because she looks extremely tortured every time she gets told about what it means to be a mother and when she looks inside that briefcase. source
