Hi I was wondering if anyone has taken
raspberry leaf tea or particularily the
capsil form of them. I had planned on
taking this from the begininning of my
pregnancy and since I don't like tea I
found the tablets at my local health food
store and bought them. I asked my ob
about it but she didn't seem to be aware
of what it was. At first she thought I
was talking about just a regular tea you
can buy from the grocers and then when I
explained it a bit more she told me not to
take it at all and that they are "money
making scams" which makes me think that
she doesn't know what it is...Because
native american women have been taking
this for centuries...Lol and I don't think
they had money making ideas on the brain.
Anyways I still plan on taking this...It's
just she mentioned that they may have some
kind of medications that are not listed in
them...And on my bottle it has "red
raspberry leaves, and magnesium stearate"
as the ingrediants I looked up the
magnesium and it's just a mineral that is
good for the body and supports bone
mineralization (i found that here:

ww.Herbal-connection.Com/magnesiumstearate
.Html ). I have talked to a couple
other people and everyone who has heard of
it seems to think that it is to bring on
labour...Which in all my research of I
have found that it isn't supposed to be
what it is for (just a faster and easier
labour).
Anyways I was just wondering if anyone had
taken or tried it...And what your results
of it were. Thanks :d I am going also
going to check with my family doctor I
think and see what he says since he is a
trusted friend of the family and he is
also into homeopathic medicines and herbs
and stuff, I didn't plan on taking this
until about week 34 (i am 33 this week)
anyways even though I read it was okay to
take anywhere after week 30.
Thanks for your replies :d
