Thanks so much for your help!
]]>Omg congrats! I didn’t experience cramping with the tea at all, and in fact my midwives always told me to start it in the second trimester and keep it going– but I obviously wasn’t pregnant with multiples so not sure!

Hi!
No hopefully I will not need to be induced. With a Home Birth you are able to go safely until 42 weeks pregnant, and I am currently 38.5 weeks. Fingers crossed he comes soon!
Yep, kitchen up tomorrow! 🙂
Thanks so much! Yes I’m officially full term now, but I actually have gained exactly the same amount of weight (20 lbs) with both babies! It must just be what my body does with pregnancy. I was definitely more toned last time though– no gym time with a toddler around unfortunately 🙁
]]>Hmmm, interesting! I actually hopped on the phone with two of Traditional Medicinals herbalists in preparation for this post, and they definitely do not say that drinking Raspberry Leaf tea keeps labor from occurring, in fact, it’s been known to shorten the duration of labor and keep the uterus healthy for pushing etc! My midwives with both babies have also told me to continue use of the tea until I deliver. Of course with anything, it’s every woman’s call on what they feel comfortable with! (though I did deliver my daughter two weeks early last time and was drinking this tea up until the bitter end!)
