Pregnancy Tea

I've never heard of pregnancy tea before.. But my friend is one of those people (I forgot what they're called!! but it starts with a B) that studies herbs and homeopathic rememdies and says that rasberry promotes elasticity in your skin to help prevent stretch marks and help with tearing during delivery.. She's always on my case about different things to drink... There's different things that will help you milk come in and ect.. I hope this helps a bit!

i heard raspberry starts contractions

Rasberry tea is supposed to be great! My mom said it was practically a must in the 70's whil pregnant. It is supposed to prevent miscarriages, but even if it doesn't work there is nothing harmful in it. People have been using it for years!

And by the way.... what a sweet husband!! VERY IMPRESSED  

Have been looking online and asking friends about the tea, supposedly you can drink it even prior to the pregnancy and after, it supposedly gives you a lot of extra nutrients and what not. My hubby got the tea from a grocery store and it was near the herbal teas, so worth looking into I guess. I am a little nervous about the rasberry leaf since someone posted that it may cause contractions, and I am way too early in the game for that to happen, so I still might wait and see what I find out. Thanks ladies!!!! Hope everyone is having a happy pregnancy!!!   [/b]

I just wanted to thank everyone for responding and that link was so helpful and I think just to be on the safe side will keep the tea in the cupboard and try it when I am closer to my due date or even after the baby is here, silly I know, but I am a little freaked out. Glad this site is here to ask questions like this, and I appreciate everyone taking the time to respond. Thanks Ladies!!!!  

I have been drinking Green Tea alot, does anyone know if that is safe??? I checked out the site above and it really didnt say anything about green tea...

oh wow i had no idea.. I guess I wont be drinking it anymore then.. but thats okay I will have pleanty of time after I finish breast feeding to drink it  

i am sure the tea is no biggie
i mean it is like going into your garden cutting some herbs and boiling them...since they dont want you drinking caffeine i have been drinking the preg tea instead. for me it is just a way to satisfy the need for something warm in replace of caffeine tea. it does nothing to you...i usually drink it in the morn after my 1/2 caff 1/2 decaf cup of joe and sometimes at dinner. you dont HAVE to drink 3 cups a day...they just want you buying more of their 5.00 a box product. i also drink the nightime tea to help me go to bed easier and the digestion tea and also the destress tea. almost all baby sites i have been to say to drink herbal tea so if you drink ones made specifically for being pregnant i say you cant go wrong other than going broke  
good luck..i know people are saying rasp sends you into labor but i have been drinking it for 6 months and i havent given birth yet. i think for raspberry to make a difference you would have to eat a ton of potent raspberry not the tiny bit they put into tea

It say it can bring on contractions...But every one is diffrent i used to drink that crap outta that stuff around the end of my pregnancy...It never once cause me for contrations or to bring on labor like i wanted...But every one is diffrent...

i used to drink rasberry tea when i was in late pregancy. i drank like 10 cups of it one day and went into labour that night! it can only be drank from 37 weeks onwards as it thins out you uterus and helps speed up labour. it worked!
