We recommend drinking throughout your third and fourth trimesters (from around 32 weeks) - (40 g enough for around 40 servings of tea.)
- Prepare to push Mama! Research shows that women who drink raspberry leaf are less likely to receive birth interventions such as a caesarean section, forceps or vacuum and have a shorter pushing stage of labour than those who don't. The tea is thought to increase blood flow to the uterus and strengthen uterine muscle fibres. It's also known to help with reducing blood loss and toning the uterus after birth.
