Raspberry leaf tea questions

Hi Ladies .... I hope you are all well .... I am 34 weeks pregnant and would like to use the raspberry leaf tea remedy .... however I am not in or from europe and no one here knows anything about it as it is a european remedy.... I just bought a box of the tea from a health shop that imports it but they could not really help with info

So I have a few Questions:

1: When do you start taking it?

2: How many cups a day should I drink?

3: Should I drink it hot or cold?

4: Can I mix it with apple juice it ease the taste?

5: DOES IT REALLY WORK??

I would love to hear any stories of women who have used the tea and how they experienced it.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yes it does work

Hey

When I was pregnant with my daugther my MW said I could take it from 32wks, I started off at 33wks with 2 cups a day and then gradually ened up drinking around 5 cups a day. At 1st the taste wasnt that bad so I was drinking it normal tea temp but the more I drank the worse the taste got so I started to drink it luke warm and was downing it all in one go!!!!

I was told that with your 1st pregnancy labour will be long and you will be over due well that wasnt true!!! My labour was 6hrs start to finish and my daughter was 2 wks early too. I also 7 days before she was born ate 1 fresh pineapple a day for 7 days, in the middle of the night after eating the 7th one I went into labour - apprently that with the tea made labour easier and quicker I'd also add I only had a total of 2 tiny puffs on gas and air in 6 hours!
I will be doing the same things this time around they seemed to workk for me!

Take care
